1. My head is full of things to say – that I’d forgotten anyway
Never thought I’d see the light of day – in a world of blue.
I couldn’t even make a sound – and you were going, round and round.
Never thought that I would hot the ground – downtown with you.
Chorus
Downtown – out in the real world
Downtown – me and the real girl
Downtown – breaking apart in the atmosphere
Falling apart in the atmosphere
Falling to pieces in the stratosphere…
Have we got nothing to fear – I fear?
2. If life is like a crazy night – you get it wrong, you get it right
But trouble’s never worth the fight – ain’t that the truth.
You watch the weekend disappear – there’s music ringing in your ear
But just how far is much to near – downtown with you.
