Soul

The world passes by
Hardly glancing at the hat
Laid casually on the ground.
 I stop
And drop a bill inside.
It floats down in the breeze
And the man plays on
Hardly glancing at the hat
Laid casually on the ground.

Yep, Tyler, the world doesn't mean much to these guys, these forced eccentrics. There are other ways to make a buck, but they're into a different sort of thing. Congrats on this selection. Love, daver
