"Downtown" lyrics - YO LA TENGO

When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown

[Pre-Chorus:]
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

[Chorus:]
So go downtown
Things will be great when you're downtown
No finer place when you're downtown
Everything's waiting for you

Don't hang around and let your worries surround you
There are movie shows downtown
Maybe you know a little place you can go
Where it never close downtown

[Pre-Chorus:]
Just listen to the music of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with it too before the night is over
Happy again
So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares

[Chorus:]
So go downtown
Things will be great when you're downtown
No finer place when you're downtown
Everything's waiting for you
