Lyrics
Downtown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was just getting used
to having you round you
and wandering around the world
that woke up, I went downtown
then woke up, everything was drowning
downtown
Little Comet, that's the name we gave
who's been trying
but he doesn't see why Mary Jane,
from down the lane, went insane
ah, she's still better off than I am
downtown
Every candle to the window
then the door
saw the features of the world
light up oh, Ava your face
I was a four-leaf clover,
I was Red Rover on the way over to your place.
I was just getting used
to having you round you
and wandering around the world
I woke up I went downtown
I woke up everything was drowning
