People on the street
need a place to go
People on the street
need a place to go
Walkin´ with the beat
if it´s not too slow
Walkin´ with the beat
if it´s not too slow
When the night´s
dark shadow falls
On the sidewalk scenes and
the concrete canyon walls.

People on the street
need a place to go
People on the street
need a place to go.

Walkin´ through the night
up and down the avenue
Lookin´ for a place,
A place to go,
A place to go.

There´s a muffled scream
from the alley scene
From the alley scene
comes a muffled scream
And the siren wails
while the system fails
In the steaming heat
people walk in the street
People can´t run and hide
If you want to feel good then
you gotta feel good inside.

People on the street
need a place to go
People on the street
need a place to go.

Rising through the grates
come the fumes of industry
Floating to the sky
Keep walkin´ with the beat,
walkin´ with the beat
Keep walkin´ with the beat,
walkin´ with the beat
Keep walkin´ with the beat,
walkin´ with the beat
When the night´s
dark shadow falls
On the sidewalk scenes and
the concrete canyon walls.

People on the street
need a place to go
People on the street
need a place to go.
