Downtown Composer(s): Tom Waits
First release by: Tom Waits - 1980
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 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 of this ice and all this mink All the traffic in the street but it's so hard to think Goin' downtown down downtown
Frankie's 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 She's fem in the sheets but she's butch in the streets Goin' downtown down downtown
It's the cool of the evening the sun's goin' down I 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 down downtown
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 Red pants turns to sugarman and says everything's alright Goin' downtown down downtown
