The Junction - Manhattan Transfer

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
