Lloyd Cole - Downtown lyrics

I want to take you down to the side of the city Where the sun doesn't shine and the moon isn't pretty The slow train crawls in the nights and the days Are as warm as the smoke and the heat haze Yes and neon here twenty-four hours of the day And you're sure looking pretty when it's hitting on your face Looker on the corner take that dog for a donor Well she's only doing what her mother told her I... I want to take you down I want to take you down I want to take you right down I... I want to take you down I want to take you down I want to take you right down I want to see a touch of evil in your eye But all that I'm getting babe is sweetness and lies I want to see something that I might desire I want to take you down babe into the mire Deals going down no chance no masking One thing's for sure never get what you're asking They're coming with johnsons, they're coming with knives They're robbing your boots when they give you a shoe shine I... I want to take you down I want to take you down I want to take you right down I... I want to take you down I want to take you down I want to take you right downtown Slow train down, babe, try twenty-nine There's no looking back when there's no sense of time 'Cause it's neon here twenty-four hours of the day And you're sure looking pretty when it's hitting on your face With a touch of evil in your eye With a touch of evil in your eye I want to take you down to the side of the city I want to take you down to the blur of the city I... I want to take you down I want to take you down I want to take you right down I... I want to take you down I want to take you down Yes I want to take you right down I... I... I... I want to take you I... I... I... I want to take you I... Yes I want to take you right downtown
