Down in the Bowery Songtext

von Alejandro Escovedo

Everybody's got to dance with the blues some times
Everybody's got to feel feel something they don't want to feel sometimes
I'd buy you a smile in a minute but would you wear it?
If you had one moment to spare would you come down and share it?

I want you out on the streets making a scene for everybody
I want to hear your voice up above the crowd and the noise
Down in the Bowery
Down in the Bowery

I hope you live long enough to forget half the stuff that they taught you
And when it's all said and done I hope you 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 you had one moment to spare would you come down and share it?

I want you out on the streets making a noise for everybody
I want to hear your voice up above the crowd and the noise
Down in the Bowery
Down in the Bowery

I hope you live long enough to forget half the stuff that they taught you
And when it's all said and done I hope you 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 you had one moment to spare would you come down and share it?

I want you out on the streets making a noise for everybody
I want to hear your voice up above the crowd and the noise
Down in the Bowery
Down in the Bowery
Down in the Bowery
