Mink Coat At The Bus Stop Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones

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
