lyrics

towers on the street are rising
a city gleams on the horizon
down on the street the world is passing by
passing by

mother Jane sits at the window
all day long she sees the world go
down the street
as we are passing by
we pass by

power gleams on the horizon
Mr. Mackey dreams of girls smiling
he walks his dog in the
morning light
morning light


rivers and trees
garbage and weeds
what can we do with the time
with the time


towers on the street are rising
a city gleams on the horizon
down on the street the world is passing by
passing by


mother Jane sits at the window
all day long she sees the world go
down the street
as we are passing buy
we pass by
