She puts on her lipstick as she crosses the street Where she's going, I don't know Maybe to the mall maybe to a show She'll be on time She's looking fine She's looking outta sight from my balcony Where I'll go, oh I know, I'm staying here For the time being Time is a tick-tock away from now And I don't wanna tick or talk They cross the street diagonally A group of hip-cats parading Smoking, talking, singing, dancing It looks like a good time It looks like a great ol' time It looks like a good ol' great ol' time from up here I watch the ashes fall to the street Where they'll go, I don't know Maybe to the sewers down below Maybe to the birds maybe to and fro They're flying free, they're flying free They're flying free just like me I just wanna sit here and walk In my adventurous mind I can keep it moving without really moving As long as the wind blows As long as the wind is blowing As long as the wind keeps blowing I can be still
