Drop out
Down in downtown there's a club I want to take me to
Where I can hide and slip inside the crack of dawn with you
And you and you and you and you too
And every ghoul and every fool and every drunk and broken rule
Can be the same, there's no address, no way to find the place
Just slide yourself down downtown 'til you start to lose your face
And you, of which there ain't the slightest trace
Don't care no more, we're all a whore
And now you stand inside the door
Downtown at dawn where they drip through the door
Downtown at dawn where we rub through the nerve
Downtown at dawn at the drop out nightclub, drop out nightclub
ย
Drop out
By indolence and insolence a lover never lies
Yes, only drop out disco offers love so undisguised
That you just get all de-civilized
And coalesce, remove your dress and think about it less and less
Drop out good for nothings can remove from any mind
The crystallizing labyrinth in love to be confined
That you can best escape by dropping out
And dropping in and dropping out and dropping in and out again
Downtown at dawn where the good clues all go
Downtown at dawn we forget all we know
Downtown at dawn at the drop out disco, drop out disco
ย
Drop out
By indolence and insolence a lover's realized
Yes, only drop out dance hall offers love so undisguised
That you just get all de-civilized
And coalesce, you feel your best and think about it less and less
Drop out paratroopers can remove from any mind
The crystallizing labyrinth in jail of love to find
That you can best escape by dropping out
And dropping in and dropping out and dropping in and out again
Downtown at dawn where the fallen are tall
Downtown at dawn hear the call to the ball
Downtown at dawn at the drop out dance hall, drop out dance hall
