Half Nelson Lyrics

 

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
