White walk symbol flashes up across the wet avenue Crowd pushes off the granite curb like they got something to prove Dodge past a dripping black umbrella tilted into my eye I got a steady rhythm going under this drizzling sky People are running for the subway, splashing water on their socks I am stepping over puddles like a clockwork in the blocks They can stress about the minutes while the traffic crawls along I am listening to the tires hum a syncopated song Take the lane right now Skipping through the puddle at the Crosswalk light Nobody can throw off how we step tonight Leather heels clicking on the wet curbstone Crosswalk rolling in a zone of our own Checked the leather watch strap while the yellow taxi turns I already finished up the lessons that the hurry learns You can spend your whole evening worried that you might be late I would rather keep my composure when I am stepping through the gate Muted trumpet stabs punch the corner of the avenue Moving through the city crowd with nothing left to pursue They can stress about the minutes while the traffic crawls along I am listening to the tires hum a syncopated song Take the lane right now Skipping through the puddle at the Crosswalk light Nobody can throw off how we step tonight Leather heels clicking on the wet curbstone Crosswalk rolling in a zone of our own (Turn the page. Next chapter.) Skipping through the puddle at the Crosswalk light (Crosswalk light) Nobody can throw off how we step tonight (Step tonight) Leather heels clicking on the wet curbstone (On the stone) Crosswalk rolling in a zone of our own (Own our zone) (Light turns red) (Safely across)
