【Intro】 Walking down the street I don't even think about it My feet find a rhythm And my shoulders follow along Yeah... The city got a beat 【Verse 1】 Car door slams, click-clack Traffic light goes beep Someone's talking on the corner Someone's tapping with their feet A bottle hits the trash can And makes that little sound I catch it right on the beat Man, that timing is perfect now 【Pre-Chorus】 There's noise everywhere But listen for a second Underneath the noise There's something moving 【Chorus】 The city got a beat I can't stand still Every step I take Finds another rhythm The city got a beat And I can feel the groove Everybody's making music Without even meaning to 【Verse 2】 Someone walking right behind me Someone passing on my right Different shoes, different footsteps But they somehow fit just right A bus rolls down the avenue Brakes breathe out, then go A metal gate comes crashing down And somehow... there we go Right on time That was perfect Didn't plan it But I felt it 【Pre-Chorus】 There's noise everywhere But listen for a second Underneath the noise There's something moving 【Chorus】 The city got a beat I can't stand still Every step I take Finds another rhythm The city got a beat And I can feel the groove Everybody's making music Without even meaning to 【Bridge】 Don't tell me it's just noise I know what I'm hearing A thousand little sounds All landing in the right place No conductor No rehearsal No one tells us when to start Still the whole street keeps moving Like it knows the next part 【Final Chorus】 The city got a beat I can't stand still Every step I take Finds another rhythm The city got a beat And I can feel the groove Everybody's making music Without even meaning to 【Outro】 So keep walking Keep moving Let the city play Footsteps, doors, bottles Cars and voices in the air I don't need a quiet room I don't need to close my eyes The city got a beat And I'm moving with it Yeah... I can't stand still
