Lyrics[]
Deliver us from evil We go with the flow But here's a little secret I think you ought to know Providers and abusers They know where to go With Sunday refugees from Sunday TV shows Downtown all of the way down Downtown all of the way downtown Let's sink imagination Past your wildest wild (all of the way downtown) Go way below below below Is it such a crime? The uptown can't teach you how to live They don't have the time Coz where i'm gonna take you Is a state of mine Downtown all of the way down Downtown all of the way downtown Downtown all of the way down Downtown all of the way downtown You better learn to use your heart You got to loose your money You better use it all up Coz you can't take it with you When you're going down... You'll never come home babe You'll never come home baby And you'll never be alone All of the way downtown All of the way... Down Down Down Downtown...
