Downtown Blues Lyrics by Ben Below

Half-Sin, Half-Virtue

2019

This is getting out of hand
It's not a case of supply and demand
Live a crooked life in a crooked town
It’s not too late to turn it around
One winter, you're an overachiever
Next spring you're just another deceiver
Things aren’t always so black and white
You can chalk it up to fate or you can sort it out tonight
Downtown blues
No one's looking out for you
Downtown jail
(Downtown blues)
And you're heading that way too
All you need is just to find a way
To get away
To run away from all your downtown blues
[Instrumental]
This is getting out of hand
Can't put a price on the life of a man
I'd always give a guy a shot at redemption
But there's a rule and there's an exception you know
There's a part of me that wants you to live
But there’s some actions that I’ll never forgive
Things are sometimes black and white
If you wanna survive, you'd better leave town tonight
Downtown blues
No one’s looking out for you
Downtown jail
(Downtown blues)
And you're heading that way too
All you need is just to find a way
To get away
To run away from all your downtown blues
Downtown blues
No one's looking out for you
Downtown blues
Oh, yeah
Downtown blues
No one's looking out for you
Downtown blues
Oh, yeah
All you need is just to find a way
To get away
To run away from all your downtown blues
