Downtown Lyrics

I went downtown to have a look around
There was nobody there but me
Looked for the policeman on the corner
There was none that I could see
There were rats in the gutter they were giving me
the shudders
I was searching for my family
The last time I saw them they were living in the
basement
Of a high rise facility
Burned out cars were clogging up the street
And lots of garbage but none that you could eat
And to the creatures of the night I was just a piece
of meat
I could hear the hungry howls dripping from their
slimy jowls
As I beat a quick retreat
I went down to the punk rock club
To see if any of my friends were around
The bouncer told me they were busy in the back
room
Butchering a dog theyd found
He said man you should have been here late last
night
They ate some boat people live on stage
And now the critics say that cannibalismLookouts - Downtown - http://motolyrics.com/lookouts/downtown-lyrics.html
Is sure to be the latest craze
He showed me the bones piled high on the dance
floor
Said come back in a while theyre gonna eat a bunch
more
Its the kind of entertainment that the crowds really
go for
I could see his skanky eyes checking me out for size
As I headed out the door
The night was cloudy and the moon was dead
As I waded through pools of blood
I noticed as it dried it stuck to my shoes
Like the slimiest kind of mud
I wondered what I looked like
If my hairstyle was still all right
But there wasnt a mirror in sight
So I jumped into a taxi the drivers name was Maxie
But she soon dropped dead from fright
And all the while I was dreaming up a storm
Wiping my forehead cause I felt a little warm
Choking on the words that my mouth could not
quite form
I rolled over on my back and had another heart
attack
And hoped I wouldnt get reborn
