I want to take you down underside of the city Where the sun doesn't shine and the moon isn't pretty And the slow train crawls in the nights and the days Are as one as the smoke and the heat haze Yes, it's 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 a dollar for a daughter Well, she's only doing what her mother taught her 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 light I want to see something that I might desire I want to take you down, babe, into the mire Deals going down no cheques, no plastic One thing's for sure, never get what you're asking They're cutting with Johnsons, they're cutting with knives They're robbing your boots when they're giving you a shoe shine I want to take you down I want to take you right downtown Slow train down, babe, track 29 There's no looking back when there's no sense of time Beause 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 underside of the city I want to take you down to the underside I want to take you down I want to take you right downtown
