Rickie Lee Jones - Mink Coat at the Bus Stop Lyrics

She's out in the morning before nine
Wearing her new mink coat
And it's already 85 degrees
She looks like she's about to
Give up hope

I look at the people
Sitting at the bus stop
People need dignity and love
Love and understanding

I was a fish all night
Left out of the sea
There was nobody
That wasn't after me
I was a bird, yeah
And it started to rain
You know I wondered
If everybody could feel my pain

I look at the people
Everyone's the same
People need dignity and love
Love and understanding
Hour by hour,
The whole wide world
One soul at a time

And I say she whoa whoa
Sitting on her woo woo
She's at the whoa whoa
She's got nowhere to go
And though she whow whoa
Here everyday there's nobody
Even asks her name

I look at the people
Sitting at the bus stop
Everyone needs dignity
And love
Love and understanding
Hour by hour
The whole wide world
One soul at a time

Whoa whoa
