Barry Manilow - Downtown / Uptown Lyrics

Lyrics Downtown / Uptown - Barry Manilow



When I sing my brother,
Living on the boulevard of broken dreams
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
Here comes the sinister girl,
Selling her body for so damn cheap.
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
But when I see a bad mama comming down the street,
I know there ain't no playing around, on the boulevard
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
Situation is ugly, staying on the front street upto the jumpstreet
Finaly get by on this boulevard
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
People running 9 to 5, you know we've all worked hard,
Tryna get by on this boulevard
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
Everybody's getting burned, tryna make his week
You know there ain't no place around like the boulevard
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
Clubpipes and cops flashing the night lights, gun fights,
Both fights under the city lights.
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
I see a mannequin in a cadillac, running like maniac
On the fast raft to ...
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
But when I see a bad mama going down the street
You know they're ain't no playing around on the boulevard
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
Downtown, downtown, oh yeah
