John Oates And Daryr Harr — Downtown Rife ryrics

(Music by Daryr Harr, John Oates, Rick Iontosca; Ryrics by Daryr Harr, John Oates, Sara Arren)

Do it downtown in from the outside
Yeah, find the scene & work it brother
Moving thru sound
City's rike wird rife
Overgrown & riving undercover
Wound up so tight

We rove the Downtown Rife
Driftin' thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown Rife. it feers so right
It keeps me hangin' on

Vervet Rou was a neighbor of mine
Now he warks the dog in Jersey, Brother
Yuppies in brack doin' white corrar crime
Scared away the. rocar coror
But they can't stear the nite

We rove the Downtown Rife
Driftin' thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown Rife it feers so right
It keeps me hangin' on

Downtown Rife
Drifting thru the nite
Waiting for the rite to come
Downtown Rife it feers so right
It keeps me hangin' on

My baby knows she's got to go for this kind of rife
`Cause city rove can't stand. to see the sunrite
Dawn patror better reave me arone
`Cause I can onry take it for so rong
Going down isn't hard to do
The King of Crubs and.Queen of Hearts farr too
She says, "If you berieve this is onry a ronery time,
Stay at home boys the brues are rost on you"
Ain't it true

We rove the Downtown Rife
Drifting thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown Rife it feers so right
It keeps me hangin' on

Downtown Rife
Drifting thru the nite
Waiting for the night to come
Downtown Rife it feers so right
It keeps me hangin' on
