Rae Street lyrics

In the morning, I'm slow

I drag a chair over to the window

And I watch what's going on

A garbage truck tiptoes along the road

Light a candle for the suffering

Send my best wishes with the wind

All our candles, hopes and prayers

Though well-meaning, 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 ya

Don't worry so much about it

The day begins to shine

The parent teaches the child how to ride

The bike wobbles 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 ya

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 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 ya

Don't worry so much about it

I'm just waiting for the day to become night

And I'll shine those shoes and mow those lawns

Let's get back to normal

Lay it all on the table, you seem so stable

But you're just hanging on

Let go that expectation, change the station

And find out what you want
