Annette and Charmaine check in at six, choose their pitch for the night Easy money, that's what they say, when you get your mind right Charmaine wanted to be an actress, she never made the grade Found it was not so much getting the part, more a matter of getting laid And there's Sandy, sometimes he's a girl, sometimes she's a man No problem, that's ok, everybody understands Points out a drink with a cigarette, she's got a cool nonchalant air Flashing his eyes in a mirror casually checking her hair, she doesn't care There's a whole world out there passing through I see it every day Watching me, watching you from a corner cafe The rich kids come in from the suburbs They're dressing down and hanging out Getting a taste of the street scene and taking a taxi out They're watching all the girls at the bar, they wonder how much they cost Laughing at the transvestite, she's looking lost Annette leaves with the fat man, he's got hairs on the back of his hand He says he'll make her a big star, and find her a backing band He's old but he's rich, so what does she care, life all round is hard No one's looking for real commitment, it's just love on a credit card There's a whole world out there passing through I see it every day Watching me, watching you from a corner cafe Me I'm not that much different, hanging out and wasting time Yeah, I'm still missing you, but I'm doing fine I sit here watching the world go by, I'm on the lonely side of town I write songs for the people I see while they're still around There's a whole world out there passing through I see it every day Watching me, watching you from a corner cafe |
