[Verse 1]
People on the street need a place to go [x2]
Walking with the beat if it's not too slow [x2]
When the night's dark shadow falls
On the sidewalk scenes and the concrete canyon walls
[Chorus]
People on the street need a place to go [x2]
[Verse 2]
Walking through the night up and down the avenue
Looking for a place
A place to go, a place to go
There's a muffled scream from the alley scene
From the alley scene comes a muffled scream
And the siren wails while the system fails
In the steaming heat people walk in the street
People can't run and hide
If you want to feel good then you gotta feel good inside
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Rising through the grates come the fumes of industry
Floating to the sky Keep walking with the beat
Walking with the beat
Keep walking with the beat, walking with the beat [x2]
When the night's dark shadow falls
On the sidewalk scenes and the concrete canyon walls
[Chorus]
