People that I might want to know
Are out on the street
They're walking back and forth
People that I might want to know
Are shaving their heads
And dying their hair colors
The people that I might want to know
All the people that I might want to know
People that I might want to know
Are riding their bikes
They're going real real fast
People that I might want to know
Are walking their dogs
And picking up after them
The people that I might want to know
All the people that I might want to know
People that I might want to know
Are losing their jobs
Or getting promoted
People that I might want to know
Are driving their cars
Or they're getting snowed in
The people that I might want to know
All the people that I might want to know
Tired and lucid
Tired of losing
All the while
People that I might want to know
Are closing their eyes
And taking a deep breath
The people that I might want to know
In the line for the COVID test
All the people that I might want to know
Walking round with red flowers
All the people that I might want to know
Working late at the corner store
The people that I might want to know
In the aisle of the grocery
The people that I might want to know
On the street
Moving their feet
To the rhythm and beat
Of the snare drum
Listening to the trains pass overhead
Wearing cool glasses and a cool sweater
Showing off their new haircut to their coworkers
Laughing at something stupid with a couple of friends
Talking in desperate tones over speakerphone
Looking unbothered just taking it all in
All the people that I might want to know
