background
"Feeling we needed to begin each and every show with an bang, Waterfront was designed and calculated to do just that" - Jim




lyrics
Get in, get out of the rain,
I'm goin' to move on up to the waterfront.
Step in, step out of the rain,
I'm goin' to walk on up to the waterfront.
Said, one million years from today,
I'm goin' to step on up to the waterfront.
Get in, get out of the rain,
Come in, come out of the rain.

So far, so good, so close, yet still so far,
So far, so good, so close, yet still so,
So far, so far, so far.

The rain, I'm going to move on up to the waterfront.
Step in, step out of the rain,
I'm going to walk on up to the waterfront.
Said, one million years from today,
Step on up to the waterfront.
Said, come in, come out of the rain.
Said, come in, come out of the rain.
Said, come in, come out of the rain.

I'm goin' to move on up to the front.
I'm goin' to walk on up to the front.
I'm goin' to live on up by the front.
I'm goin' to walk on up to the front.

Come in, come out of the rain.
Come in, come out of the rain.
Said, come in, come out of the rain.
Come in, come out of the rain.

Move on up, to step on up,
Walk on up, live on up,
Far away, far away, far away.
So, walk away, so far, I walk away.
So, so, walk away, up to the waterfront.
Up to the waterfront.
So far, so far.
