Swing Street
Swing Street Revelations: Unveiling the Hidden Truths in Christopher Cross's Melodic Tapestry
Lyrics
There's a place I know called Swing Street
Introducing a place known as Swing Street
Where you can really feel the heartbeat
Emphasizing the vibrant and pulsating atmosphere of Swing Street
After working hard til sundown
After a hard day's work until sunset
The city comes alive
The city becomes lively and energetic
High up, low down, down on Swing Street
Describing the diverse experiences on Swing Street, from high to low
Gypsy jazzmen tickling my feet
Reference to jazz musicians creating a joyful atmosphere
Jive and music, love and money
Mention of lively activities like dancing, love, and financial success
There's enough to get you high
There's an abundance of excitement to elevate one's mood
Sidewalk preachers hustling bibles
Street preachers promoting religious messages
Longing for one more revival
Expressing a desire for another spiritual awakening
There's a truth in all these dreamers
Recognizing a truth in the dreams of the people on Swing Street
If you read between the lines
Suggesting deeper meanings if one looks beyond the surface
Well, it's all right watching the world come together
Being content with observing the world coming together
A real life movie that goes on forever
Comparing life to an ongoing, real-life movie
Take your chances and pull on the lever
Encouraging taking risks and embracing opportunities
Down on Swing Street
Reinforcing the vibrant nature of Swing Street
Down on Swing Street
Reiteration of the lively atmosphere on Swing Street
Morning comes, that alarm clock screaming
Transitioning to the morning routine with a loud alarm
Coat and tie, and wheeling, dealing
Engaging in formal attire and business dealings
I wish that I could be back on Swing Street
Expressing a longing to return to Swing Street
Watching life roll by
Reflecting on life passing by
Everyone looks for romance
People seek romance in various places
Living out of magazines
Reference to the superficial aspects portrayed in magazines
But there's still one place
Identifying Swing Street as a genuine place without pretense
Where you don't have to fake it
Emphasizing authenticity on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street
Reaffirmation of the unique qualities of Swing Street
Down on Swing Street
Final mention of the distinctive atmosphere on Swing Street
