Scared of Each Other

I miss the bus driver, mailman, the cops

Skateboarders running red lights and don’t stop

I miss the lady who talks to herself in full sentences

But won’t look at anyone else

I miss the busker with two rusty strings

Who tends to blow his lunch everywhere when he sings

Cause it didn’t matter one way or the other

Unlike now we’re so scared of each other

So scared of each other

Sometimes a beggar had his shit down

Some kind of gag or some joke that he found

I’d flip a buck or a toon if I had it

Brother it can’t always be this bad

I’d take a free hug from some unknown stranger

The risk is worth taking, what’s really the danger

It didn’t matter one way or the other

Unlike now we’re so scared of each other

So scared of each other

I miss Louise who poured beer in a bar

Pretty good singer too...maybe a star

Just to sit down and say hey you all right?

Watch some lucky fella get lucky that night

It would not be me, no my dance card was loaded

But it’s a beautiful thing watching how it unfolded

Cause it didn’t matter one way or the other

Unlike now we’re so scared of each other

So scared of each other

I miss the busker with two rusty strings

Who tends to blow his lunch everywhere when he sings

But it didn’t matter one way or the other

Unlike now we’re so scared of each other

So scared of each other
