Hey where you goin’, said Cheeseburger Joe.
I aint goin’ nowhere, I just go with the flow.
Do you need some company, ‘cos I travel light.
So they stumbled together off into the night.
 
Do you know what I miss, said Cheeseburger Joe
It’s the light from a candle, and the world goin’ slow.
I know what you mean, darkly came the reply
Seems the worlds in a taxi gone rushin’ by.
 
Do ya think we fit in……….Beats the hell outta me
We gave up our freedom, in a bid to be free.
Yeah, we do what we like, don’t always like what we do…..
Hey Joe, hold up, I’ve a stone in my shoe.
 
So Joe took his arm while he struggled to free
The pain in his sole he had had since age three
And it looked like a dance on the sidewalk of life
While they shared of their thoughts that cut like a knife.
 
You know, every street corner, they all look the same…..
You mean like Jessup and Third and Fourth street and Main.
Yeah, so how is a guy really going to know
If it’s left or it’s right…..
Ah, we’ll just go with the flow.
 
So, this much they did as they walked round the block
And somehow Joe’d lost one shoe and one sock
So he borrowed this much from his friend on the walk
It was a small price to pay for shared thoughts and small talk.
