Her blouse was dirty
So her coat stayed on
She wore a ball cap to cover her head
Because she had no comb
She wore no make up
So she stared at the ground

She couldn’t stop thinking
So she tried to sing
She didn’t want to be seen singing in public
So she sang inside her head
But still she couldn’t stop thinking
And it ruined the song

She finally looked up
How did I get here?
Ran her hands through her pockets
as if bus fare Would magically appear
Then the song went silent
And her mind went clear

So she took a breath and she looked around
It’s a mighty long way to walk all across town
Waiting at the corner for the light to turn,
She caught a glimpse of her reflection
On the side of a car
For a minute, “Who’s that?
Well, I guess that’s me.”
Then the car pulled away,
And she stepped into the street.
It was seventeen steps
till she made the next curb
Then she put on the face that says
“Do Not Disturb”

Her blouse was dirty
and she had no comb
and she wore no make up
so she walked along
she walked along
she walked along
