    They walked around the streets seeing everyone around
    We see everyone that is around on the streets looking sad
    We pass the same restaurant
    Looking as no one is there
    We see that it is cloudy
    We look on the street and there are old newspapers
    The clouds travel like white handkerchiefs of goodbye.
    We just walk around everywhere as we see such a depression
    Everyone sad
    And everyone just is waiting for the day to pass
    Women just trying to stay cool
    Men dressed up for nothing
    Nothing to buy with nothing to buy it with
