Calexico
Heart of Downtown
You've been on this road alone
And now the world hears your voice
Shake the chains that still remain
Shake the dust right off our shows
Ce soir...
Like a river running from the desert to the sea
Dancing to the heart of downtown
Be a good neighbor is what they say
But the laws don't always work that way
I'm ready for a hard rain to flood
And ready for change for everyone
Ce soir...
Shining bright like a shooting star
Dancing to the heart of downtown
All the years of pain can't wish it away
Standing by your side as we take the streets tonight
Ce soir...
Anything can happen when you open your heart
From the capitol steps to the heart of downtown
Shining bright like a shooting star
Dancing to the heart of downtown
Ce soir...
Like a river running from the desert to the sea
Dancing to the heart of downtown
We made it this far and we're not turning back
There's nothing in the world that we can't do
I can hear your heart beat strong and true
Dancing to the art of downtown
