lyrics

Eyes that meet from across the street
Split second encounters that seldom repeat
For all the different things men think
Their actions seem so few and similar
Fall into step with men
That are silent with ideas
Think about your partner
Peek at your partner
Join the sidewalk reel

Chorus: (x2)
The buildings get taller
The people get smaller
Step by step through generations
The sidewalks start to fill
Join the sidewalk reel

Shuffle down Broadway at night
Like moths attracted to the light
For all the different things men like
Their actions seem so few and similar
Fall into step with men that are silent with ideas
Think about your partner
Peek at your partner
Join the sidewalk reel
