Woman on the Edge

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 passes 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?
