Rae Street

In the morning I'm slow I drag a chair over to the window And I watch what's going on The garbage truck tip-toes along the road Light a candle for the sufferin' Send my best wishes with the wind All our candles, hopes and prayers Though well-meanin', they don't mean a thing Unless we see some change I might change my sheets today Well, time is money And money is no man's friend And all eyes on the pavement I'm not gonna touch up Don't worry so much about it The day begins to shine The parent teaches the child how to ride the bike Walkers side to side Two dogs entangle, everybody smiles The pair across the street One's up the ladder and one's on their knees Painting the faded brick What's the point? It looks fine from up here Well, time is money And money is no man's friend And all eyes on the pavement I'm not gonna touch up Don't worry so much about it I'm just waiting for the day to become night Next door the kids run amok The mother screams, "Don't you ever shut up?" And there's one thing I know The sun will rise today and tomorrow We've got a long, long way to go Well, time is money And money is no man's friend And all eyes on the pavement I'm not gonna touch up Don't worry so much about it I'm just waiting for the day to become night And I'll shine no shoes In all those worn splits Get back to normal Lay it all on the table You, seem so stable But you're just hangin' on Let go that expectation Change the station And find out what you want
