Down at the Uptown

It was a real live world, and I wanna live in it I got up and sung in overrun places like this Christmas lights, but nobody gave a shit, I guess Was a real live world, and I wanna live in it So if I'm a stranger now And runnin' on my own time It's 'cause I made a vow Down at the Uptown Horses ran on the radio Trouble's in the bathroom, sleepin' off a bad one Greed is selling roses out the back door It was a real live world, and I wanna live in it So if I'm a stranger now And runnin' on my own time It's 'cause I made a vow Down at the Uptown Mama, I'm standing on the ledge-i-o Run, jump, or fly? I think I caught a bad one I guess we only get so many chances to shine It was a real live world and I wanna live in it So if I'm a stranger now And runnin' on my own time It's 'cause I made a vow Down at the Uptown So if I'm a stranger now And runnin' on my own time It's 'cause I made a vow Down at the Uptown --- Down at the Uptown - Hiss Golden Messenger
