Soap box standing on a corner And all the people they would round You of faith with a blaze of glory But those that fear, they wanna you down
knows where you live Where do you go in the naked All of the prophets, they come you They can hear your cry
you're out there in the night all alone When staring in the light at the end of the road
In those proud shoes, coming on up the In proud shoes, walks all over the sky Then he tipped his hat just like Don And said, "Don't let the rapture you by"
Heard a blowing in the misty morning a haunting sound over Times Square Heard of the of 52nd Street Looked out the door but no one was
Out in the Harlem rain I went for this minstrel man me a song to ease the pain With the Army Band
you're out there on the dark all alone When you're sleeping in the at the end of the road
In those proud shoes, coming on up the In those proud shoes, walks all the sky Then he tipped his hat like Don Quixote And said, "Don't let the rapture you by"
In the neon wilderness and the jungle He his cross of passion Through the and the rumble
In those proud shoes, on up the alley In those proud shoes, all over the sky he tipped his hat just like Don Quixote And said, "Don't let the rapture, let the rapture pass you by let it pass you by Ooh, let it pass you by"
