Lyrics
Oh, well the long street goes
Refers to a long street symbolizing a journey or path in life.
For miles and miles
Suggests the journey extends for a considerable distance.
And it's picking up some strangers
The street encounters unfamiliar individuals.
And it's picking up some smiles
The encounters bring about positive reactions.
And the half breeds holler
People with mixed backgrounds express their opinions.
Their educated guesses
These individuals make educated guesses.
And they got a lot of cheers
The guesses receive a lot of positive feedback.
Well, you guessed it you guessed it
Confirmation or acknowledgment of correct guesses.
They keep you in follow mode
Others influence and guide your actions.
They keep you in follow mode
Continued influence, possibly restrictive.
Take the streets you never rode
Exploration of unfamiliar paths in life.
They keep you, they keep on knocking
Perseverance despite challenges, party symbolizing life's events.
Like the party's on, they keep on knocking
Continued perseverance, even when the atmosphere changes.
Ah, like the party's gone
Recognition that the situation has evolved or ended.
You know, I got some friends
Reference to diverse friendships in various locations.
In random places
Highlighting a variety of thoughts and faces in social circles.
All kinds of ideas
Diversity in ideas and individuals.
And all kinds of faces
They keep their ready shoes on
Maintaining composure and calmness in challenging situations.
They keep their shirts on ice
Keeping emotions or reactions in check.
And they're looking to the future
Looking forward to the future to release pressure or tension.
To loosen the vice
They keep you in follow mode
Protest or expression through signs.
They hold up their signs
Guidance or influence persistently present.
They keep you in follow mode
Most of the time, the influence is prominent.
Most of the time
They keep on knocking, like the party's on
Perseverance remains, even during the darkest times.
They keep on knocking, yeah, from dark 'til dawn
Continued knocking, suggesting relentless effort.
They keep you in follow mode
Guidance or influence persistently present.
You hold up the signs
Confirmation or expression through signs.
They keep you in follow mode
Continuous influence and guidance.
All of the time
Consistent influence throughout life.
They keep on knocking, like the party's on
Perseverance and knocking continue, as if the party (life) is ongoing.
They keep on knocking, yeah, from dark 'til dawn
Perseverance remains, even from dark times until dawn.
Yeah
Reiteration of the continuous effort, possibly till the end of life.
