[Intro: Skipping syncopated 134 BPM 2-step hi-hats, warm Hammond organ chord stabs, deep Reese sub-bass swell] [Syncopated callout: dry baritone click and quick vocal run] (Step.) (Watch the light change.) [Verse 1: Rapid swung baritone singjay delivery, in-media-res] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Reese sub-bass glides, skipping snare roll tightens, organ chord bounce] 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 [Chorus: Full 2-step garage drop, skipping shuffle groove, deep rolling bassline, stacked vocal hook] 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! [Verse 2: Agile conversational pocket, unhurried swagger over swung 2-step percussion] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Rising 2-step snare roll, Hammond organ swells] 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 [Chorus: Full power, soaring singjay energy, rolling Reese sub-bass, bright organ chords] 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! [Bridge: Half-time breakdown, filtered sub-bass, crisp page turn sound effect] (Spoken, calm baritone: "Turn the page. Next chapter.") [Mute - 1 beat silence] [Drop: Full explosive climax] [Chorus: Climax, high-energy 2-step swing, driving sub-bass glides, vocal ad-libs] 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!) [Outro: Skipping hi-hats trail off over fading organ stabs and distant city rain, clean hard stop] (Light turns red.) (Safely across.) [Silence] [End]
