Left my girl down at the courtyard Had spent my last night in veil And drove a mile until the blocks went out And quit my lane
Now there's a party going on downtown And my friends keep calling But my hands are tied Now there's a party going on downtown But the rain it falls Straight to my heart and I know I'll run, run Everytime you come I run, run...
Word was out I'd got loose And dance she came
Now I live around the poor parks Walk around the drains And all my neighbours want to kick me out From my little bench Still there's a party going on downtown And I'm tiptoe-tripping 'cos my legs are tied Still there's a party going on downtown But the rain it falls Straight to my heart and I know I'll run, run Everytime you come I run, run... "Why don't you pick up the phone...?"
