"Knockin' Around" lyrics

Early morning on the city street
It's quiet, cautious, barely asleep
Words hang in the air as you wander about
But they'll all burn away when the sun comes out

Somebody calls your name
From across the avenue
You smile and you nod their way
But you've got a job to do
You're knockin' around
Oh, just knockin' around

Buses flash by towards a busy day
Giants of commerce are trading away
Skyscraper rocks in the middle of town
You start at the top and you work their way down

Rain or shine
You find a hundred things to see
A thousand things to try
A million things to be
When you're knockin' around
Oh, just knockin' around

Somebody calls your name
From across the avenue
You smile and you nod their way
But you've got a job to do
You're knockin' around
Oh, just knockin' around

When you're knockin' around
Oh, just knockin' around
You say you're knockin' around
Just knockin' around
You're knockin' around
Just knockin' around

Ooh-ooh
Just knockin' around
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Just knockin' around
