  • In the morning I'm slow
    I drag a chair over to the window
    And I watch what's going on
    The garbage truck tiptoes along the road
    Light a candle for the sufferin'
    Send my best wishes with the wind
    All our candles, hopes and prayers
    Though well-meanin' they don't mean a thing
    Unless we see some change
    I might change my sheets today

    Well time is money
    And money is no man's friend
    And all eyes on the pavement
    I'm not gonna touch up
    Don't worry so much about it

    The day begins to shine
    The parent teaches the child how to ride
    The bike
    Walkers side to side
    Two dogs entangle, everybody smiles
    The pair across the street
    One's up the ladder
    And one's on their knees
    Painting the faded brick
    What's the point?
    It looks fine from up here

    Well time is money
    And money is no man's friend
    And all eyes on the pavement
    I'm not gonna touch up
    Don't worry so much about it
    I'm just waiting for the day to become night

    Next door the kids run amok
    The mother screams, "Don't you ever shut up?"
    And there's one thing I know
    The sun will rise today and tomorrow
    We've got a long long way to go

    Well time is money
    And money is no man's friend
    And all eyes on the pavement
    I'm not gonna touch up
    Don't worry so much about it

    I'm just waiting for the day to become night
    And I'll shine those shoes
    In all those worn splits
    Get back to normal
    Lay it all on the table
    Ya seem so stable
    But you're just hangin' on
    Let go that expectation
    Change the station
    And find out what you want Writer/s: Courtney Barnett
