Dallon Weekes - Skid Row (Downtown) lyrics

[Brendon Urie:] Alarm goes off at seven And you start uptown You put in your eight hours For the powers that have always been 'Til it's five p.m (Then you go) [Dallon Weekes:] Downtown Where the folks are broke, you go Downtown Where your life's a joke, you go Downtown When you buy your token You go Home to skid row (home to skid row) (Yes, you go) Downtown Where the cabs don't stop Downtown Where the food is slop Downtown Where the hop-heads flop In the snow Down on skid row Oh, Uptown you cater to a million jerks Uptown you're messengers and Mailroom clerks Eating all your lunches at the Hot dog carts The bosses take your money And they break your hearts Uptown you cater to a million who*es You disinfect terrazzo on their Bathroom floors The jobs are really menial, you make no bread And then at five o'clock you head By subway (Downtown) [Brendon Urie:] Where the guys are drips (Downtown) Where they rip your slips (Downtown) Where relationships are no go Down on skid row (down on skid row) Down on skid row (down on skid row) Down on skid (down on skid) row Down on skid row! [Dallon Weekes:] Poor! All my life I've always been poor I keep asking God what I'm for And he tells me, "Gee, I'm not sure Sweep that floor, kid." Oh, I started life as an orphan A child of the street Down here on skid row He took me in, gave me shelter, a bed Crust of bread and a job He treats me like dirt, calls me a slob Which I am So I live (Downtown) That's your home address You live (Downtown) When your life's a mess You live (Downtown) Where depression's just Status Quo (Down on skid row) Someone show me a way to get Out of here 'Cause I constantly pray I'll get Out of here Please won't somebody say I'll get Out of here Someone give me my shot, or I'll Rot here [Urie & Weekes:] (Downtown) (There's no rules for us) Show me how and I will, I'll get out of here (Downtown) ('Cause it's dangerous) I'll start climbing uphill and get out of here (Downtown) (Where the rainbow's just a no-show) Someone tell me I still could get out of here Someone tell Lady Luck that I'm stuck here! [Dallon Weekes:] Gee, it sure would be s'well to get Out of here Bid the gutter farewell and get Out of here I'd move Heaven and Hell to get Out of skid I'd do I-don't-know-what to get out of skid (Downtown) But a Hell of a lot to get out of skid (Downtown) People tell me there's not a way out of skid (Downtown) But believe me I've got to get out of skid row!
