I wait for sundown on the fire escape
And watch the passing cars downstairs
I’m high above korean groceries
A sublet castle in the air

It's down to cigarettes and rosaries
Christ, I wish someone would call me
I got Johnny Thunders on the radio
But you can't put your arms around a memory

Maybe I could find a better way
But all I need is to feel connected 
So, do you remember me?
I sang that song you like
I sang that song for free
Now someone else sounds like me
And I got to get downtown
Downtown, town

See the old men on the bowery
Take the nighttrain to the stars
And you can find me in the usual place
Inside the temple bar

I hear that Sally's got a gift for me
I hear she found it on St. Mark's
These days they all just talk like poets
And shoot their mouths off shooting sparks

Maybe I could find a better way
But all I need now is to feel connected
So, do you remember me?
I sang that song you like
Way back in eighty-three
Number one
High as a kite
As I made my way downtown
Downtown, yeah, yeah
Downtown

They've got paper cups for charity
Cools, pills and broken teeth and dope
But I'll take another dry martini
And a chance on hope
A chance on hope, yeah, dope

And now someone else waits for me
And I got to get downtown
Downtown tonight, yeah
Downtown
I'm going way downtown tonight
I'm gonna see the man, yeah
I'm going way downtown tonight
I do, I do my best I can
It feels so right, yeah
Yeah, it feels so right...

Do you remember me?
