Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(One)
(Two, three)
(Four)
[Verse 2]
Get to the heart, baby, the heart of the city
Meet me in a fire fight of lusty boys in candlelight
Beat to the heart, baby, the heart of the city
The veins pop and cry for more and lick it off the killin' floor
[Verse 3]
(Downtown) C'mon
(Downtown) C'mon
(Downtown) C'mon
(Downtown) C'mon
(Downtown) Akron, Akron, Akron
[Verse 4]
Move to the beat, baby, the beat of the city
Rubber glove me when you love me, promise me protection
Dance to the heat, baby, the heat of the city
Glorify my oozing head and raise me from the living dead
[Verse 5]
(Downtown) C'mon
(Downtown) C'mon
(Downtown) C'mon
(Downtown) Akron, Akron, Akron
[Verse 6]
Downtown me, baby, strip me
Chop me, adopt me, bend me like a robber dolly
Downtown me, demolition me
Raise me, appraise me, the portage hotel and me
Downtown me, with a lobotomy
Take me to the Cuyahoga valley and make a man of me, yeah
[Verse 7]
Get to the heart, baby, the heart of the city
Say you love it when you shove it, don't be sentimental
Move to the heart, baby, the heart of the city
This is where the future lies beneath the burnin' sulphur skies
[Verse 8]
(Downtown) C'mon
(Downtown) C'mon
(Downtown) C'mon
(Downtown) C'mon
(Downtown) Akron, Akron, Akron
