Lyrics The Junction - Manhattan Transfer

The Junction

There’s a place everyone should know
It’s a space where you ought to go
When you’re not quite sure of where to begin
And you’re better goin' out than when you came in
When you think you know all there is to know
Come on check it out and let the record show
That you’re not above another point of view
Nor a time and place you learn another’s truth
(It's a junction)
It’s not a physical place, you see
(That's not its function)
Ooh let’s work together
It’s stronger with you and me
With you and me
Some might think they’re better off alone
Workin' day and night fingers to the bone
But no matter how good you are you can always use
At least your fair share of opposin' views
(At the junction)
It’s not a physical place, you see
(That's not its function)
Let’s get together and share our philosophies
We’ll get together at the junction
It’s really more of a state of mind
(State of mind)
Not a fancy function
So leave your old fashioned attitude and your penguin suit behind
Old school meets new school and celebrates history
History meets technology it’s still humanity
Successful preparation meets opportunity
Jazz meets pop and we can’t stop
It’s all about harmony
(At the junction)
It’s not a physical place, you see
(That's not its function)
Hey let’s get together and share our philosophies
We’ll get together at the junction
It’s really more of a state of mind
(State of mind)
Not a fancy function
Hey so leave your old fashioned attitude
And your penguin suit behind
Get it at the junction
Ooh leave your penguin suit behind
Leave it all behind
What’s your function, junction?
Really more, really more of a state of mind
Let’s work together
That’s the way it’s meant to be
Transfer some love between you and me
Leave your worries behind
(Junction)
That’s the way it was meant to be
That’s the way it’s meant to be
And that’s the way it was meant to be
(At the junction)
Just you and me
Let’s work it let’s work it
It’s a place for one and all to see
It’s a place one and all can be
When you think you know all there is to know
Check it out and let it show
Way down south
Check out, check out, check out the junction
Check out, check out, check out to the junction
