You've been busy, baby
Watchin' too much CNN
You're such a shut-in
Andy Cooper now is your best friend
Gonna walk downtown
Gonna walk downtown
Gonna walk until those Alameda lights turn me around
You've got problems,man?
You ought to try my side of town
They get their back's up
When they find out that your skin ain't brown
Gonna walk downtown
Gonna walk downtown
Gonna walk until those Alameda lights turn me around
Gonna walk downtown
You'll get your wish, come get your kicks, you'll get your wish
You know you're crazy
When the narco-tecture's in your blood
I'd decorate it for you, baby
If I only could
Gonna walk downtown
Gonna walk downtown
Gonna walk with my head up high and my feet on the ground
Gonna walk downtown
Gonna walk downtown
C'mon walk downtown
