I wait for sundown on the rore
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 
Johnny Thunders on the radio 
Ah 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 now 
Do you remember me 
I sang that song you like 
I sang that song for free 
Now someone else sounds like me 
As I make my way downtown 
Downtown 
Oh yeah 
Downtown 
See the old men on the Bowery 
Take the night train to the stars 
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 poetry 
And shoot their mouths off shooting sparks 
Maybe I could find a better way 
But all I need now is to feel connected 
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 
Oh yeah 
Downtown 
They've got paper cups for charity 
Kools, pills and broken teeth, and dope 
But I'll take another dry martini 
And a chance on hope 
And now someone else waits for me 
And I got to get downtown 
Downtown 
Oh yeah 
Downtown 
I'm going way downtown 
Oh yeah 
I'm gonna see the man 
I'm going way downtown 
See the man 
Going down yeah 
I'm gonna see the man 
Going downtown 
Do you remember me
