Walking at a Downtown Pace

I'm making plans for the day all of this is through

Seeing my path there

Hearing the song I'll sing

And food that I'll taste and all the drinks that I'll consume

Return the smile of

An unmasked friend

As we take streets I don't walk down 'cause I want to avoid

Fighting temptation

Walk at a downtown pace

And treasure the crowds that once made me act so annoyed

Sometimes I wonder

How long till I'm a face in one?

You'd be surprised to learn what you could bear to lose

Wanting and needing

Not getting either one

And planning the future as the time we also choose

Pick out a movie

A sandwich from the street

Yeah, how many days in life will I spend underground?

Hours in total

As many as it takes

And how many ways of feeling lousy have I found?

Lately, I've counted

I've found a

Reason to exist

Waving on the top

Undercover wall

Begging not to go extinct

Do what you saw

How many times now have I walked into that room?

With the day shining

Through purple film combining

Sound from the corners that you use yourself to tune

Like a piano

Well tuned and walking slowly

Socks on the carpet while some kid watches my shoes

Feeling the sun like

A bolt of lightning

House of dreams you were once my girl for New York City blues

Is this goodbye then?

Will you be

On the other side?

Waiting there for me

Nothing left to want

Cashing in my claim to the world

Nothing more supreme

On the other side

Waiting there for me

Nothing left to want

Cashing in my claim to the world

Nothing more supreme
