Down Town Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

When you're alone 

And life is making you lonely 

You can always go 

Down town. 

When you've got worries 

All the noise and the hurry 

Seems to hurt, I know. 

Down town. 

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city, 

Linger on the sidewalks where the neon signs are pretty. 

How can you lose? 

The lights are much brighter there, 

You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

And go down town. 

Things will be great when you're 

Down town. 

No finer place for sure, 

Down town. 

Everything's waiting for you. 

Don't hang around 

And let your problems surround you, 

There are movie shows 

Down town. 

Maybe you know 

Some little places to go 

To where they never close, 

Down town. 

Just listen to the rhythm of the gentle bossa-nova, 

You'll be dancing with them, too, before the night is over, 

Happy again.

The lights are much brighter there, 

You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares 

And go down town. 

Where all the lights are bright 

Down town. 

Waiting for you tonight 

Down town. 

You're gonna be all right now. 

And you may find 

Somebody kind 

To help and understand you, 

Someone who is just like you 

And needs a gentle hand 

To guide him along. 

So maybe I'll see you there, 

We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares 

And go down town. 

Things will be great when you're 

Down town. 

Don't wait a minute more, 

Down town. 

Everything's waiting for you.
