She walks along the city streets as if no would dare Follow the path that she has chosen to take her anywhere She walks beneath the city lights, no other way Until she captures every eye and makes the pavement sway Woman on the edge, something to behold Her happiness is simple and clear Like a spot of shade or a bottle of beer Coolin' the day away She looks at the moon and laughs Then away she goes Until a stranger pa**es by that she might want to know
He's got a penny in his pocket he wants to give away She looks at him dead in the eye, spits on the street and says "ho, I don't need your money, I don't need your time I'm on my way to another world Where the people play like clouds in the sky," Clouds in the sky, clouds in the sky Why don't you stop and ask her How she feels about the life she's living?
