Lyrics

Walking through these city streets,
wondering why I feel so incomplete,
The crowd closing in on me.
I get to the corner and I look up and see
on the street light, the palm of a hand,
as it changes to the form of a man
with one foot forward and one arm out,
oh he knows where he's going and what life is about
He's the walking man.

Keep your feet to the beat, gotta' cross the street like the walking man.
Whatever you do, you gotta' get up and move like the walking man.
See him on the street light, gotta' get up and fight like the walking man.
Start doing everything you can, Walking Man.

Doing everything I'm told.
But afraid of what I'll find when I cross the road.
So I play it safe, hoping I can hide.
But I can't help thinking that I'm on the wrong side
And I gotta' start moving my feet.
Gotta' leave the sidewalk, gotta 'cross the street.
With one foot forward and one arm out.
Oh, I gotta get it going and I gotta get out
Like the walking man.

Keep your feet to the beat, gotta' cross the street like the walking man.
Whatever you do, you gotta' get up and move like the walking man.
See him on the street light, gotta' get up and fight like the walking man.
Start doing everything you can, Walking Man.

Walking through these city streets, wondering why I feel so incomplete,
The crowd closing in on me. I get to the corner and I look up and see
That I gotta' start moving my feet.
Gotta' leave the sidewalk, gotta 'cross the street.
With one foot forward and one arm out.
Oh, I gotta get it going and I gotta get out
Like the walking man.

Keep your feet to the beat, gotta' cross the street like the walking man.
Whatever you do, you gotta' get up and move like the walking man.
See him on the street light, gotta' get up and fight like the walking man.
Start doing everything you can, Walking Man.
