Band Of Annuals Constant Stride Lyrics

The sidewalks talkin' as i was walkin'
on my usual way to work
he said 'why do you walk the way you do?
careful not to step on the crack'
said 'I don't want to do anything that might have offended you
cuz i know what it's like to be walked on tonight, especially on old boots

and he said 'thank you sir
and for what it's worth we appreciate your careful stride
and when you're passing by
don't forget to say hi
because we'll be here all the time'

the church and steeple, filling up with people goin' to sing songs of praise
and i look at them with a kind of skepticism
whats so great about religion?
the steeple pipe says
'don't mind them friend they don't mean a thing'
hey it's a good to question, we don't get that around these parts

and he said thank you sir, and for what its worth
we appreciate your careful stride
and when you're passin by
don't forget to say hi
because we'll be here all the time
