Left my girl down at the courtyard 
Had spent my last night in veil 
And drove a mile until the blocks went out 
And quit my lane 
Now there's a party going on downtown 
And my friends keep calling 
But my hands are tied 
Now there's a party going on downtown 
But the rain it falls 
Straight to my heart and I know 
I'll run, run 
Everytime you come I run, run... 
Word was out I'd got loose 
And dance she came 
Now I live around the poor parks 
Walk around the drains 
And all my neighbours want to kick me out 
From my little bench 
Still there's a party going on downtown 
And I'm tiptoe-tripping 'cos my legs are tied 
Still there's a party going on downtown 
But the rain it falls 
Straight to my heart and I know 
I'll run, run 
Everytime you come I run, run... 
"Why don't you pick up the phone...?" 
Word was out I'd got loose 
And dance she came
