Lyrics

I want to take you down underside of the city
Where the sun doesn’t shine and the moon isn’t pretty
And the slow train crawls in the nights and the days
Are as one as the smoke and the heat haze
Yes, it’s neon here twenty four hours of the day
And you’re sure looking pretty when it’s hitting on your face
Looker on the corner take a dollar for a daughter
Well, she’s only doing what her mother taught her
I want to take you down
I want to take you right down
I want to see a touch of evil in your eye
But all that I’m getting babe is sweetness and light
I want to see something that I might desire
I want to take you down, babe, into the mire
Deals going down no cheques, no plastic
One thing’s for sure, never get what you’re asking
They’re cutting with Johnsons, they’re cutting with knives
They’re robbing your boots when they’re giving you a shoe shine
I want to take you down
I want to take you right downtown
Slow train down, babe, track 29
There’s no looking back when there’s no sense of time
Beause it’s neon here twenty-four hours of the day
And you’re sure looking pretty when it’s hitting on your face
With a touch of evil in your eye
With a touch of evil in your eye
I want to take you down underside of the city
I want to take you down to the underside
I want to take you down
I want to take you right downtown
