Music by Daryl Hall, John Oates, Rick Iontosca Lyrics by Daryl Hall, John Oates, Sara Allen Do it downtown in from the outside Moving thru sound Yeah, find the scene & work it brother Overgrown & living undercover City's like wild life Wound up so tight We love the Downtown Life Driftin' thru the day Waiting for the nite, oh Downtown Life. it feels so right It keeps me hangin' on Velvet Lou was a neighbor of mine Now he walks the dog in Jersey, Brother Yuppies in black doin' white collar crime Scared away the. local color But they can't steal the nite We love the Downtown Life Driftin' thru the day Waiting for the nite, oh Downtown Life it feels so right It keeps me hangin' on Drifting thru the nite Downtown Life it feels so right Downtown Life It keeps me hangin' on Waiting for the lite to come My baby knows she's got to go for this kind of life Dawn patrol better leave me alone `Cause city love can't stand. to see the sunlite `Cause I can only take it for so long The King of Clubs and.Queen of Hearts fall too Going down isn't hard to do stay at home boys the blues are lost on you" She says, "If you believe this is only a lonely time, Ain't it true We love the Downtown Life Waiting for the nite, oh Drifting thru the day Downtown Life it feels so right It keeps me hangin' on Downtown Life Waiting for the night to come Drifting thru the nite Downtown Life it feels so right It keeps me hangin' on
