recorded live to 2-track at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre, Dec. 22, 1990

lyrics

Ya, ya, ya, ya,
Ya, ya, ya, ya.

Doesn’t matter if the sky is blue.
The rain keeps falling down.
I don’t know what I came here for.
I just wanna be around. Downtown.

I don’t care if the whole damn place
Is falling to the ground.
I don’t know about a twist of fate.
My love lies underground. Way down.

Ya, ya, ya, ya.
Ya, ya, ya, ya,

Kicks like a boot on stone.
But we all come back for more.
No church is gonna turn our heads.
That’s not what we came here for. No more.

You give up everything
That you work so hard for.
Money, power, all that counts.
Sex force will win the war.

Ya, ya, ya, ya.
Ya, ya, ya, ya.

Doesn’t matter if the sky is blue.
The rain keeps falling down. Way down.
I don’t know what I came here for.
Just wanna be around. Downtown.

Ya, ya, ya, ya.
Ya, ya, ya, ya.
Ya, ya, ya, ya.
Ya!
