[00:08.980] |
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 |
