Nobody knows you live Where do you go in the night? All of the prophets, they come you They can hear your cry
When you're out in the night all alone When you're in the light at the end of the road
In those proud shoes, on up the alley In those proud shoes, all over the sky Then he tipped his hat just like Don And said, "Don't let the pass you by"

In those shoes, coming on up the alley In those proud shoes, all over the sky Then he tipped his hat just like Don And said, "Don't let the rapture, don't let the pass you by let it pass you by Ooh, don't let it you by"
