Took that midnight train fast outta this thick glass
Cause' there ain't nothing here but the past
With these walls that chip when you pinch'em
Ain't there nobody around here just listenin'
It's a strange funny feeling when this mind gets a reeling
Like you when peel the tough of that orange peeling
Yes' its a strange funny feeling when this mind gets a stealing
And you can't remember the notion of what it means to be feeling
That sun above my head is bright witha' hinta' yellow
I see everyone around me moving oh so mellow
Yeah' that sun above my head is lookin' shallow
Tomorrow is a sight I got nothing to think about though
Concrete's blistering with puffs of brown smoke
My woman done left me an' I'm feelin' like a joke
Grey concrete is a blisterin' with puffs of brown smoke
And I just heard a story from some weird kinda man in some nook
See me now as I cross that bleak street
With that hanging head heavy with another thing to say
See me there now a crossing that bleak beat
With a pocket full of money that ain't ever gonna' take the pain away
