  • The city's so in style
    All you see for miles are people spilling in and out of cars
    Man I love these bars are making a killin'
    Everywhere I go looks like the place to be
    I see people that I know
    And I feel like there's no one here but me

    Downtown's dead without you
    Girls walk by and friends say hi
    But Friday night it might as well be just another
    Tuesday night without you
    As long as you're still in my head
    There ain't no way that I can paint a ghost town red
    Downtown's dead, downtown's dead

    They're dancing in the strobes
    Out here in the throws of loud house music
    Everything's a blur
    I don't hear the words but lips are moving
    I try to get involved
    But I've 'bout had enough of people wall to the wall
    And I'm just holdin' it up 'cause

    Downtown's dead without you
    Girls walk by and friends say hi
    But Friday night it might as well be just another
    Tuesday night without you
    As long as you're still in my head
    There ain't no way that I can paint a ghost town red
    Downtown's dead, downtown's dead

    Free drinks, bright lights
    What am I doing with my life?
    Okay, I quit I've had enough of this
    'Cause people are losing their minds
    Can't get you out of my head, I'm calling it a night
    I'm crawling back to your bed

    Downtown's dead without you
    Girls walk by and friends say hi
    But Friday night it might as well be just another
    Tuesday night without you
    As long as you're still in my head
    There ain't no way that I can paint a ghost town red
