I woke up early this morning |
| [00:10.680] |
Went downtown and |
| [00:11.750] |
I got a cup of coffee |
| [00:12.770] |
Drink it on up then |
| [00:13.730] |
I got a little jumpy |
| [00:14.980] |
Then I had a thought that |
| [00:16.180] |
I can't remember |
| [00:17.400] |
Walked around town looking down at my shadow |
| [00:19.650] |
Pick up a nickel older than |
| [00:20.880] |
I Gave it to a man who needed a shot of liquor |
| [00:24.600] |
I could tell by the look in his eye |
| [00:26.230] |
Walking around the bus station |
| [00:27.580] |
I saw a young girl |
| [00:28.370] |
Couldn't have been older than 13 |
| [00:30.720] |
Smoking a cigarette pregnant and barefoot |
| [00:33.380] |
I said "Hello" she said "The world is mean" |
| [00:35.100] |
So I kept on walking |
| [00:36.910] |
Taking in the scenery |
| [00:39.430] |
Observing everything |
| [00:41.600] |
And what it means to me |
| [00:43.660] |
Could it be as simple |
| [00:45.750] |
As me just being me |
| [00:48.320] |
Looking for sweet |
| [00:49.380] |
Conformation |
| [00:52.670] |
So I kept on walking |
| [00:53.320] |
To the hardware store |
| [00:55.140] |
Asked the manager for an application |
| [00:57.400] |
And on the way out |
| [00:58.110] |
I threw it in the trash cuz |
| [00:59.470] |
Something in my head said just be patient |
| [01:01.800] |
I saw a bunch of birds on top of the court house |
| [01:03.830] |
Sitting on the edge all in a row |
| [01:06.300] |
If I didn't know better |
| [01:06.980] |
I'd swear they were watching me |
| [01:08.660] |
I think I heard a bird tell another there he goes |
| [01:10.900] |
Then saw a mannequin in the window |
| [01:12.550] |
The prettiest woman that |
| [01:13.850] |
I've ever seen |
| [01:14.660] |
Wearing a green dress and beautiful string of pearls |
| [01:17.590] |
She wasn't interested in me |
| [01:19.320] |
So I kept on walking |
| [01:21.290] |
Taking in the scenery |
| [01:23.720] |
Observing everything |
| [01:25.740] |
And what it means to me |
| [01:27.780] |
Could it be as simple |
| [01:30.150] |
As me just being me |
| [01:32.150] |
Looking for sweet |
| [01:34.310] |
Conformation |
| [01:37.300] |
So I kept on walking |
| [01:38.320] |
To a seat on a bench on the corner |
| [01:39.310] |
Took a little rest beneath the shady tree ' |
| [01:41.580] |
Long came an old lady with a walking cane |
| [01:44.100] |
And she sat down next to me. |
| [01:45.880] |
She said Hey there dreamer how are you doing? |
| [01:48.150] |
Said the doc told her she's 'bout to die |
| [01:50.330] |
And yet she comes here everyday about this time |
| [01:53.000] |
Just to watch the world pass by |
| [01:55.100] |
Gave me a nickel and said this is a fortune |
| [01:57.350] |
Lit a cigarette and said the world is mean |
| [01:59.620] |
Just be patient the birds on the courthouse |
| [02:02.300] |
Serve a purpose like you and me |
| [02:03.780] |
Then I got up and said thank you kindly |
| [02:06.800] |
Then the sun broke through the trees |
| [02:08.280] |
And as I turn to walk away she said hey |
| [02:12.690] |
Don't worry 'bout the mannequin she can't see |
| [02:21.460] |
So I kept on walking |
| [02:23.550] |
Taking in the scenery |
| [02:25.800] |
Observing everything |
| [02:28.150] |
And what it means to me |
| [02:30.240] |
Could it be as simple |
| [02:32.480] |
As me just being me |
| [02:35.110] |
Looking for sweet |
| [02:36.180] |
Conformation |
| [02:39.140] |
So I kept on walking |
| [02:43.430] |
So I kept on walking |
