Lawyers In Love

Downtown people gotta work a little harder working downtown
Downtown they got to think a little quicker 'cause they're downtown
Downtown the breaks are harder
Downtown the thieves are smarter

I've got this place i'm renting
It cost me next to nothing downtown
Nobody comes around telling me i gotta turn the sound down
Broadway -- down on the corner
The bible screamer, the plasma donor
Buses, carhorns, ghetto blasters
The shouts and cries of the human disasters

It's all music
It's all music
Downtown
It's all music
It's all music

I feel alright when i'm downtown
My feet are light when i'm downtown
I cast my hopes on the human tide
I place my bet and let it ride
I'm open wide when i'm downtown

Downtown there's every kind of people walkin' round downtown
Downtown there's every language, every human sound downtown
Downtown the nights are longer
Downtown the sights are stronger
Downtown wandering all around downtown
It's all music

Eight blocks south of city hall
The rats run free and the winos crawl
Darkness falls on the vast machine
Where the future stalks the american dream

I feel alright when i'm downtown
My head feels light when i'm downtown
It's all in sight when i'm downtown
I feel alright when i'm downtown

In the still of the night
Lying in the darkness
I listen to my heart
Say it isn't true
In the dark and the quiet
The movements of my love
And the breathing of our children
Say it isn't true
In the streets and the buildings
The people in their lives
And the jobs they do for a living
Say it isn't true
And when you think of all the people
In the cities of the world
Who could vanish in a moment
Say it isn't true
Say it isn't true
That there always has been and always will be war
Say it isn't true
And apart from all the fine things that men have struggled for
Say it isn't true
There always has been and always will be war
Say it isn't true

I'm alive in a city
In a country of the world
And i want to go on living
I want to see my life unfold
You know it's hard to go on looking
At the stories of our day
And the dangers we're all facing
Growing worse in every way
And you would think with all of the genius
And the brilliance of these times
We might find a higher purpose
And a better use of mind

Say it isn't true
That there always has been and always will be war
Say it isn't true
And apart from all the fine things that man has struggled for
Say it isn't true
There always has been and always will be war
Say it isn't true

Say it...
Say it isn't...

Open the door, baby turn on the light
We're gonna have a party tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker

I know it's late and you're already down
You ain't ready for people around
I'm gonna tell you something i found out
Whatever you think your life is about
Whatever life may hold in store
Things will happen that you won't be ready for

I've got a shirt so unbelievably bright
I'm gonna dig it out and wear it tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker

Don't have to change, don't have to be sweet
Gonna be too many people to possibly meet
Don't have to feed 'em, they don't eat
They've got their power supplies in the soles of their feet
They exist for one thing, and one thing only
To escape living the lives of the lonely

For a friend of mine, from the neighborhood
Moving down the line, after tonight he'll be gone for good

Here comes ricky, danny, and doerge
They got petie's number and they're looking at me
Russell and bobby setting up the drums
Gonna pound on 'till the landlord comes
Don't want to argue, i don't want to fight
But there will definitely be a party tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker

'till the morning comes, 'till the car arrives
'till we kill the drums, 'till we lose our lives

Hey jenny, tell peggy sue
We're gonna do the only thing you can do
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
There's a party tonight!
There's a party tonight!
There's a party tonight!
There's a party tonight!

Knock on any door
Look through any window
Baby knock on any door
Knock on any door
Is there any place you want to go
Baby who you lookin' for

Yeah, yeah, baby now you know
It's a cold world like they told you so

Knock on any door
Save your tears for some occasion
Keep your heartache to yourself
Knock on any door
It's a simple operation
Just trade your memory for your health

Knock on any door
Look through any window
Walk on
Knock on any door
Look through any window
Walk on

It's insane girl, you can't run away
It's the same world it was yesterday

Knock on any door
Look through any window
Walk on
Knock on any door
Look through any window
Walk on

Now, now, now how do you survive
With a pain so real, in a world so jive

Knock on any door
Look through any window
Peek through any shade
Knock on any door
Look through any window
Walk on
