CROSSING THE STREET

((( Jimmy )))

I roll up to the curb
And the DON'T WALK is steady
It changes to WALK
As I get my mind ready
The moment the WALK sign
Becomes DON'T WALK flashing
I'll hurry across
Try to avoid red splashing
The moment arrives, will I die?

In the street crossing
There is a boy riding
Faster than feet walking
There may be trucks approaching
The color could change
In this cruel twisted game
In the street

Rather cross on the red
Than WALK sign white
Green lights scare me to death
But DON'T WALK is all right
I continue to pedal the wheel with my feet
I can't risk being frozen with fear

In the street crossing
There is a boy riding a tricycle, frantic
I hear the trucks approaching
My life may be lost
But I'm ardent on crossing

The street crossing
My tricycle protecting
Hauling a box in a wagon
Engines of death approaching
They fly through the light...

...but I timed it just right
So the box and the wagon
Fly through the air
Sending the box full of trucks soaring
Onto the street, through traffic

The trucks are destroyed
By the wheels of their own
Their tattered remains
Seem to lose all control

In the street crossing
Crossing the street crossing
In the street crossing
Crossing the street

[words & music by Sean Schuyler]
