Alejandro Escovedo Lyrics
"Down In The Bowery"

Everybody's got to dance
With the blues sometimes
Everybody's got feel some things
They don't want to feel sometimes
I'd buy you a smile in a minute
But would you wear it?
If I had one moment in time
Would you com down and share it?

I want to see you out on the street
Makin' a scene for everybody
I want to hear your voice up above
The crowd and the noise
Down in the Bowery

I hope you live long enough to forget
Half the stuff they taught you
When it's all said and done I hope
You've got your own set of rules
To hang on to
I'd buy you a smile in a minute
But would you wear it?
If I had one moment of time
Would you come down and share it?

I want to see you out on the street
Makin' a scene for everybody
I want to hear your voice up above
The crowd and the noise
Down in the Bowery

I hope you live long enough to forget
Half the stuff they taught you
When it's all said and done I hope
You've got your own set of rules
To hang on to
I'd buy you a smile in a minute
But would you wear it?
If I had one moment of time
Would you come down and share it?

I want to see you out on the street
Makin' a scene for everybody
I want to hear your voice up above
The crowd and the noise
Down in the Bowery
