Downtown Tonight

歌詞

Dodging the blues, but the blues were gaining fast Riding the news, knowing news just doesn't last Heaven come seven with the rolling of the bones Ah, but winning never feels like going home He's thick at the bottom, thin at the top Like a bottle shaken with a cork that doesn't pop Pretending and descending to the land of woe Oh, life's not what you think, it's what you know [Chorus] So take it downtown tonight And when nobody's looking you can slip it out of sight Since you're devil bound, it's hell downtown tonight He's beard, bone and gristle, the rest is mostly mule He's running from the whistles, he's running as a rule Pretending and descending to the land of woe Oh, when you give your hand to fate, she don't let go [Chorus] Dodging the blues, but the blues were gaining fast Riding the news, knowing news just doesn't last Heaven come seven with the rolling of the bones Oh, life's not what you think, it's what you know Oh, when you give your hand to fate, she don't let go
