Down in dawntown there's a club I want to 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 crystallizing 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
