I'll take the alleyway today No need for streets they just compete with other people Walking side by side on sidewalks With their clocks all ticking simultaneously
That's where I'll be Stick to the alleyways with me
There is a way Another way to go and I will take it A secret way Some people know about but no one ever sees
You will find it if your heart is open and I’m hoping it will lead you straight to me
Fast or slow Take the shortcuts and side roads Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines We'll get there our way
I'll take the train tracks today The ones that run behind the houses down on Pine Street Traveling side by side like lovers Never crossing one another So to speak
And I will walk these tracks forever even if the weather doesn't change in weeks
And though they were deserted long ago It doesn't hurt to know them - time's free
Fast or slow Take the shortcuts and side roads Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines We'll get there our way
