Lyrics Hiss Golden Messenger – Down At The Uptown

It was a real live world and I wanna live in it
I got up and sung in a whole lot of places like this
Christmas lights, but nobody gave a shit like this
It was a real live world and I wanna live in it

So if I’m a stranger now
And running on my own time
It’s ’cause I made a vow
Down at the Uptown

Horses playing on the radio
Someone’s in the bathroom sleeping off a bad one
Queenie’s selling roses out the back door
It was a real live world and I wanna live in it

So if I’m a stranger now
And running on my own time
It’s ’cause I made a vow
Down at the Uptown

Momma, I’m standing on the ledge-ee-o
Run, jump, or fly? I think I caught a bad one
I guess we only get so many chances to shine
It was a real live world and I wanna live in it

So if I’m a stranger now
And running on my own time
It’s ’cause I made a vow
Down at the Uptown

So if I’m a stranger now
And running on my own time
It’s ’cause I made a vow
Down at the Uptown
