Downtown — текст песни (Jackson Browne)

Downtown people gotta work a little harder working downtown

Downtown they got to think a little quicker cause theyre downtown

Downtown the breaks are harder

Downtown the thieves are smarter



Ive got this place Im renting

It cost me next to nothing downtown

Nobody comes around telling me I gotta turn the sound down

Broadway -- down on the corner

The Bible screamer, the plasma donor

Buses, carhorns, ghetto blasters

The shouts and cries of the human disasters



Its all music

Its all music

Downtown

Its all music

Its all music



I feel alright when Im downtown

My feet are light when Im downtown

I cast my hopes on the human tide

I place my bet and let it ride

Im open wide when Im downtown



Downtown theres every kind of people walkin round downtown

Downtown theres every language, every human sound downtown

Downtown the nights are longer

Downtown the sights are stronger

Downtown wandering all around downtown

Its all music



Eight blocks south of city hall

The rats run free and the winos crawl

Darkness falls on the vast machine

Where the future stalks the american dream



I feel alright when Im downtown

My head feels light when Im downtown

Its all in sight when Im downtown

I feel alright when Im downtown
