Lyrics

Department store windows dress in their best clothes
The streets are snowy and wet
She holds out her handbag and bullfights with cabs
But no one’s picked her up yet
And so she leaves, and she leaves
And hope springs eternally brief

CHORUS:
Jaywalkers of the world united
Cross the traffic of life divided
By those who go and those who’ve gone
Jaywalkers of the world walk on

Crowds in the crosswalk push onto the next block
The holes they leave behind are filled fast
Step to the curb and say a parting word
And lead your people past
You’re not alone, you’re not alone
We all want to get back home

CHORUS

I look both ways
Before I cross my fingers and pray
Love is never lost
Against the light, we join the cause

CHORUS

Jaywalkers of the world (repeat)
