Drop out!
Down in Dawntown, there's a club I wanna 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 'til 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

[Guitar Solo]

Drop out!
By indolence and insolence a lover never lies
Yes, 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 dropout 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

[Guitar Solo]

Drop out!
By indolence and insolence, the lovers realize
Yes, only dropout dancehall offers love so undisguised
That you just get all decivilized
And coalesced, you feel your best, and think about it less and less

The dropout paratroopers can remove from any mind
The crystalizing 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
Downtown at dawn, at the dropout dancehall, dropout dancehall
