mr downtown mr downtown
darkness falls and the night's begun
the river of light burns as bright as the sun
under the waning moon is danger to be found

for the man with the badge in the night
the man with the badge in the night
what's his name?
mr downtown mr downtown
mr downtown mr downtown

oh you can't run away when you can't run away
when you're walking a lonely beat
but there's love to be found
yes there's love to be found
on the shadowy side of the street

morning comes and you toss and turn
the night's now a memory ceasing to burn
up from the streets below
a haunting daunting sound

for the man with the badge in the night
for the man with the badge in the fight
for the man with the badge in the night
the man with the badge in the night
mr downtown mr downtown
mr downtown mr downtown
