Lyrics
DOWNTOWN
Got this little voice talking inside my head
I'm hanging on by the thinnest thread
What I dread is what I love
My soul is falling from above
Chorus:
I'm going down, downtown
I'm going downtown again
Where I find what I'm looking for
Where I beg and cheat
I'm going downtown once more
Verse 2
I'm not a serpent but I'm cold as ice
My eyes are red, and my throat is tight
Ill search these streets all through the night
It's like sifting through ruins
This town's so dry
Chorus: repeat
Someday I get out of this mess
I'll find a different way I guess
I'm not giving up yet
Of course I say that every day
Chorus:repeat
