You did it my friend
Got away once again
You'll get caught just wait, you will see
It was a close call
Put your hands on the wall
You'll get caught, wait and see
Remember your life was once good
They're after you now
Remember your life was once good
Today you are losing
You better stay away from downtown
You better stay away from downtown
You better stay away from downtown
Yeah you
The black and white angels
Have tar paper wings
You can't hide birds of prey
They see everything
They're coming to get you
You're not paranoid
It's an affair
Much more than a fling
Ignore the one who live in your head
He's ugly and cruel
You still haven't done all those things
You said you'd never do, so
You better stay away from downtown
You better stay away from downtown
You better stay away from downtown
Yeah you
It feels so great at first
To be so all alone
But each time it gets worse
When your soul has left its home
The devil inside your head
Is so far from dead
And might not let go of you this time
Best not push your, best not push your
Best not push your luck
You better stay sway from downtown
You better stay away from downtown
You better stay away from downtown
Yeah you, yeah you, yeah you, yeah you
You better stay away from downtown
Yeah you, yeah you, yeah you
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
Oh no
You better stay away from downtown
