[00:00:51] Downtown

[00:00:53] Where the hop heads flop in the snow

[00:00:57] Down on Skid Row

[00:01:01] Uptown you cater to a million jerks

[00:01:05] Uptown you're messengers and mailroom clerks

[00:01:08] Eating all your lunches at the hot dog carts

[00:01:11] The bosses take your money and they break your hearts

[00:01:14] Uptown you cater to a million whores

[00:01:18] You disinfect terrazzo on their bathroom floors

[00:01:21] Morning's tribulation afternoon's a curse

[00:01:24] And five o'clock is even worse

[00:01:26] That's when you go

[00:01:28] Downtown

[00:01:29] Where the guys are drips

[00:01:31] Downtown

[00:01:32] Where they rip your slips

[00:01:34] Downtown

[00:01:35] Where relationships are no go

[00:02:11] A child of the street here on Skid

[00:02:13] Row he took me in gave me shelter

[00:02:17] A bed crust of bread and a job

[00:02:20] Treats me like dirt calls me a slob

[00:02:41] Where depression's just status quo

[00:02:47] Down on Skid Row

[00:02:49] Someone show me a way to get outta here

[00:02:53] 'Cause I constantly pray I'll get outta here

[00:02:57] Please won't somebody say I'll get outta here
