Soap box preacher standing on a And all the people they would round You speak of faith a blaze of glory But those that fear, wanna knock you down
Nobody knows you live do you go in the naked night? All of the prophets, they come you They can hear lonesome cry
When you're out there in the night all you're staring in the light at the end of the road
In those proud shoes, coming on up the In those proud shoes, all over the sky Then he his hat just like Don Quixote 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 ghost of Street out the door but no one was there
Out in the cold rain I went searching for minstrel man Played me a to ease the pain With the Army Band
When you're out there on the all alone When you're in the park at the end of the road
In those proud shoes, on up the alley 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"
In the neon wilderness and the jungle He his cross of passion the wreckage and the rumble
In those proud shoes, coming on up the In proud shoes, walks all over the sky Then he tipped his hat just Don Quixote And said, "Don't let the rapture, don't let the rapture you by let it pass you by Ooh, don't let it you by"
