OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Outside another yellow moon, has punched a hole in the night time mist
I climb through the window, and down to the street
Lord, I'm shining like a new diamond

Allemande and weave the ring
The downtown trains are full
Swing that girl and promenade the ring
Full of all them Brooklyn girls
They try so hard, to break out of their little world...


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Heads (Sides) promenade halfway round you go
Walk in and square thru to four hands round
Go all the way and then a right & left thru
Veer left and ferris wheel around now
You square thru three and then
Swing that girl and promenade my friend
Lord, if I was the one, you chose to be your only one, oh baby

ALTERNATE LYRICS

Oh they head to the carnival, but they're never gonna bring you back

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Will I see you tonight? On a downtown train?
Every night, every night, it's just the same

Allemande and weave the ring
Will I see you tonight? On a downtown train?
All my dream, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown (train)


TAG

Circle home
On a downtown train, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
