Downtown Lyrics - Heartattack And Vine - Tom Waits

Red Pants and the Sugarman in the Temple Street gloom 

Drinkin' Chivas Regal in a four dollar room 

Just another dead soldier in a powder blue night 

Sugarman says, "Baby, everything's alright" 

Goin' downtown, downtown, town 

Goin' down, downtown 

Montclaire de Havelin doin' the St.Vitus dance 

Lookin' for someone to chop the lumber in his pants 

How am I gonna unload all this ice and all this mink? 

All the traffic in the streets but it's so hard to think

Goin' downtown, downtown, town 

Goin' down, downtown 

Frankie wearin' lipstick, Pierre Cardin 

I swear to God, I seen him holdin' hands with Jimmy Bond 

Sally's high on crank and hungry for some sweets 

Fem in the sheets but she butch in the streets 

Goin' downtown, downtown, town 

Goin' down, downtown 

It's cool of the evening, the sun's goin' down 

Want to hold you in my arms, I want to push you around 

I want to break your bottle and spill out all your charms 

Come on baby, we'll set off all the burglar alarms 

Goin' downtown, downtown, town 

Goin' down, downtown

Are drinkin' Chivas Regal in a four dollar room 

Just another dead soldier in a powder blue night 

Red Pants turn to Sugarman and says, "Everything's alright" 

Goin' downtown, downtown, town 

Goin' down, downtown
