Mother,daughter,walking,talking,
                                       Walking,walking,walking,gawking.
                                       Into the canyons,into the doorways,
                                       Doorways,gawking,talking,walking.

                                       Dollar drunk,blind lady pleading,
                                       Pleading,pleading,pleading,needing.
                                       Blind eyes bleeding,closed eyes pray,  
                                       Praying,bleeding,needing,pleading.

                                       People,persons,unkind,heartless,
