[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]
