Another therapist's office and another inexplicable "work" of "art." I have no running interpretation of this one. Ideas?

I can't even imagine having to sleep on a bench in New York city for the winter. So much for "Down Town!"
When you're alone
And life is making you lonely
you can always go, down town.
When you got worries,
All the noise and the hurry
seems to help,
I know, down town.
Just listen to the music
Of the traffic in the city,
linger on the sidewalks
Where the neon signs are pretty.
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles,
Forget all your cares.
So go down town.
Things'll be great
When you're down town.
No finer place for sure-
Down town.
Everything's waiting for you
Down town.
