The Best Pedestrian
Navigating Life's Breezy Streets: A Musical Journey by Eric Nauman
Lyrics
I look around
I observe my surroundings
I'll tell you what I see
I'll describe what is in my view
Another breezy day down
It's another calm day on a comfortable path
Easy street
Referring to a trouble-free lifestyle
Road blocks
Obstacles in life
Construction everywhere
Challenges and difficulties are everywhere
I can't catch the bus
I can't take public transportation
This town's not fair
Expressing dissatisfaction with the town
I walk around
I stroll around
I'll tell you who I meet
I'll introduce you to the people I encounter
A sweet little old
Encountering an elderly lady who's jaywalking
Jay walking lady
Describing her as sweet
She said "Son
The lady admits to being somewhat impaired
I'm a bit impaired"
Response to her admission
I said
Continuing the dialogue
"Take my hand and
Offering assistance
I will get you there"
Assuring that he will help her reach her destination
I can't cross the bridge
Unable to cross a bridge
I gotta walk around
Having to take an alternative route
I just got off work
Just finished work and now has to walk through town
And now I gotta walk through town
Receiving a message about overdue rent
I get a text
Receiving a text message
That says my rent's past due
Notification of late rent payment
My heart's in my stomach
Feeling anxious and worried
And my foot is in my shoe
Experiencing emotional distress
I look around
Observing the surroundings again
I'll tell you what I see
Describing the current scene
A squirrel with a sandwich
Noticing a squirrel with a sandwich in a tree
In a tree
Depicting a peculiar sight
I walk by
Walking past the squirrel
And he isn't scared
The squirrel is not frightened
He's got his lunch
Describing the squirrel's nonchalant attitude
He doesn't care
Indifference of the squirrel to the surroundings
Oh me oh my
Expressing amazement or disbelief
The things I see
Reflecting on the unusual things witnessed while walking the streets
When I miss the bus
Repetition emphasizing the impact of missing the bus
And walk these streets
Emphasizing the variety of experiences during a walk through town
Oh me oh my
Repetition of the amazement at the things observed
The things I see
Reiteration of the impact of missing public transportation
When I miss the bus
Repetition of the varied experiences during a walk
And walk these streets
Reiteration of the amazement at the things observed
Oh me oh my
Repetition emphasizing the impact of missing the bus
The things I see
Reiteration of the variety of experiences during a walk
When I miss the bus
Reiteration of the amazement at the things observed
And walk these streets
Reiteration of the impact of missing public transportation
