Down in dawntown there's a club I wanna take me to Where I can hide or 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 drunken broken rule
Can do the same. There's no address, the way to find the place Is slide yourself down dawntown till 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 drift to the dub Downtown at dawn where we rub to the nub Downtown at dawn at the dropout night club, dropout night club
Drop out! By indolence and insolence a lover never lies Yeah only dropout disco offers love so undisguised That you just get all decivilized And coalesce, remove your dress, and think about it less and less
The drop out good-for-nothings can remove from any mind The crystallizing labyrinthine 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 drifters all go Downtown at dawn you forget all you know Downtown at dawn at the dropout disco, dropout disco
By indolence and insolence, the lovers realize Yeah only dropout dancehall offers love so undisguised That you just get all decivilized And coalesce, you feel your best, and think about it less and less
The dropout paratroopers can remove from any mind The crystalizing labyrinthine jail of love defined 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 dropout dancehall, dropout dancehal
