Walk On Lyrics

 Someone called out to you 
 And it sounded just like crying 
 On a street where nobody 
 Even knows your name 
 Your mind was getting high on the sweet
air 
 As your spirit was flying 
 
 Steam rising from the sidewalks 
 Of New Orleans after an evening rain 
 Steam rising from the sidewalks 
 After an evening rain 
 
 And it only made the heat 
 Feel like it was walking even closer 
 As you headed up St. Charles 
 To catch a streetcar named Desire 
 Young couple struggling in the doorway 
 Like he was trying to force her 
 
 In the distance you swore 
 You could hear them open fire 
 Tires squealing in the distance 
 As you heard them open fire 
 
 CHORUS: 
 Walk on, walk on 
 Don't look back 
 Don't ask questions 
 Don't you try to understand 
 Walk on, walk on 
 Straight back down to your hotel room 
 Where she lies waiting for her man 
 
 You're so afraid you might be losing love 
 That is makes you worry 
 And you wonder if she's ever seen this 
 Kind of fear in you 
 And you think of that young couple 
 In the doorway 
 And it makes you hurry 
 
 You wonder what kind of fear 
 They might be living through 
 Yeah you wonder if 
 They saw that fear in you 
 
 REPEAT CHORUS
