Downtown Lyrics - Pretenders

Get to the heart 

Baby, the heart of the city 

Meet me in a fire fight 

Of lusty boys in candlelight 

Beat to the heart, baby the heart of the city 

Veins pop and cry for more 

And lick it off the killing floor 

D-d-d-downtown c'mon 

D-d-d-downtown c'mon 

D-d-d-downtown c'mon 

D-d-d-d-downtown Akron! 

Move to the beat. baby the beat of the city 

Rubber glove me when you love me 

Promise me protection 

Dance to the heat, baby the heat of the city 

Glorify my oozing head 

And raise me from the living dead 

D-d-d-downtown c'mon 

D-d-d-downtown c'mon 

D-d-d-downtown c'mon 

D-d-d-d-downtown Akron! 

Downtown me - baby strip me 

Chop me, adopt me, bend me like a rubber dolly 

Downtown me - demolition me 

Raise me, appraise me, the portage hotel and me 

Downtown me - with a lobotomy 

Take me to the Cuyahoga valley and make a man of me 

Get to the heart, baby the heart of the city 

Say you love it when you shove it 

Don't be sentimental 

Move to the heart, baby - the heart of the city 

This is where the future lies 

Beneath the burning sulfur skies 

D-d-d-downtown c'mon 

D-d-d-downtown c'mon 

D-d-d-downtown c'mon 

D-d-d-d-downtown Akron!
