Up Madison, down Park
Everyday and often after dark

Pretending that we'll meet
Each time I turn a corner
I walk a little faster
Pretending life is sweet
’Cause love's around the corner
I walk a little faster

Can't begin to see my future shine as yet
No sign as yet, you’re mine as yet
Rushing toward a face I can't define as yet
Keep bumping into walls, taking lots of falls

But even though I meet
At each and every corner
With nothing but disaster
I set my chin a little higher

Hope a little longer
Build a little stronger
Castle in the air
And thinking you'll be there
I walk a little faster
I walk a little faster
I walk a little faster

Can't begin to see my future shine as yet
No sign as yet, you're mine as yet
Rushing toward a face I can't define as yet
Keep bumping into walls, taking lots of falls

But even though I meet
At each and every corner
With nothing but disaster
I set my chin a little higher

Hope a little longer
Build a little stronger
Castle in the air
And thinking you'll be there

I walk a little faster
Faster, faster
