Half Nelson

When you're alone and life is making you lonely

You can always go downtown

When you got worries, all the noise and the hurry

Seems to help, I know, downtown

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city

Linger on the sidewalks where the neon signs are pretty

How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there

You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

And go downtown

Things'll be great when you're downtown

No finer place for sure, downtown

Everything's waiting for you

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you

There are movie shows, downtown

Or maybe you know some little places to go to

Where they never close, downtown

Just listen to the rhythm of the music that they're playin'

Making conversation while you're on the dance floor swayin'

Happy again

The lights are much brighter there

You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

And go downtown

Where all the lights are bright, downtown

Waiting for you tonight, downtown

You're gonna be alright now

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you

Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to guide them along

So maybe I'll see you there

You can forget all your troubles

Just forget all your cares

And go downtown

Things'll be great when you're downtown

Don't wait a minute more, downtown

Everything's waiting for you

Downtown, where all the lights are bright

Downtown, waiting for you tonight

Downtown, you're going to be alright now

Get on, get on, get on downtown

Fade:

Downtown, where all the lights are bright

Downtown, waiting for you tonight

Downtown, you're going to be alright now

Get on, get on, get on downtown
