["","The rain, I'm going to move on up to the waterfront","Come in, come out of the rain","So far, so good, so close, yet still so","Step in, step out of the rain","So, so, walk away, up to the waterfront","Said, one million years from today","","Said, come in, come out of the rain","Step in, step out of the rain","I'm goin' to walk on up to the waterfront","I'm goin' to step on up to the waterfront","Said, come in, come out of the rain","Come in, come out of the rain","","","Far away, far away, far away","Move on up, to step on up","Get in, get out of the rain","","I'm goin' to walk on up to the front","Walk on up, live on up","So far, so far, so far","I'm goin' to move on up to the waterfront","","Said, come in, come out of the rain","I'm goin' to move on up to the front","Said, one million years from today","Get in, get out of the rain","So far, so far","So far, so good, so close, yet still so far","Come in, come out of the rain","Said, come in, come out of the rain","Up to the waterfront","","I'm goin' to walk on up to the front","Step on up to the waterfront","","So, walk away, so far, I walk away","I'm goin' to live on up by the front","I'm going to walk on up to the waterfront","Come in, come out of the rain"]
