Agans Craig - Rockin' Downtown lyrics

It all started one day when the clouds obscured the sun The whole town was turned upside down, even ice queens were on the run The temperture was rising, there was fire in the stack, and the folks down at city hall had tried to turn the whole thing back Out on the street several did parade concern but no more for the cause than for the time to burn The cops had warned 'em fairly that mildly outlaw gang that they had it comin', they were goin' out with a bang.. But life went on as usual in that smokey familiar place where your hard pressed to remember a name let alone a face But all the same they know you, and you in turn know them but if it's a time of need, they aren't what you'd call a friend Johnny was the first one hit, blown up in his car He'd been a hard working man, but he'd gone a little too far As the fire burned the ma**es took to the street you could see every strange character you could ever meet.. The bars still made it open till half past ten, but none of them ever made it open again The fire swept thru everything, noone could escape they were cutting logs for a video, they ran out of tape Cameras couldn't catch the flames, they were a minute late They couldn't design history, it's all left up to fate Everything was burned to dust, the moon it came up red and there was nobody left to hear what wasn't said.. I woke up again the next morning out of this crazy dream I made a pot of coffee and I ran out of cream Betty the next door neighbor was hanging up her clothes across the street they were mopping up, the night before their pipes had froze But the temp was warming, the day and sky were clear as I walked across the melting ice a cracking sound I did hear I no longer saw my shadow, I realized I had to run that's when I noticed that the clouds, had obscured the sun.. sallysally@usa.net
