lyrics

trapped in a downtown area storage facility overnight
Christ on the cross sees the sunrise for a second time

if I can make it through the night
I won’t let go of the light
till I see something familiar

there's a downtown area Ford dealership with a picture on the wall
of my wife and I onstage with the mayor at the Policeman's Ball

and when they saw I was no cop
I started running and said I'd stop
I’d stop
yeah I’d stop
when I saw something familiar

I'm with a downtown area personal injury lawyer on a conference call
or working a debt till 4 or 5 at Rol San

I gotta ride this out and I will
I wait over and over again and I will

we're a downtown area band
we got downtown area fans
we're a downtown area band
get us out of here
get me out of here

trapped in a downtown area storage facility overnight
Christ on the cross sees the sunrise for a third time

we're a downtown area band
ya we’re a downtown area band
we got some downtown area fans
get us out of here
