The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

this crumpled dollar bill in my back pocket

reminds me I had twenty

what somebody said to someone

you think that worries him

laid out on the newsstands

read the sinful publications

see the haze on commonplace streets

you're back in

so we walk on different streets

taking time, no one seems to notice

outside you're all smiles

when inside I know you're hurting

see the haze on commonplace streets

you're back in

this crumpled dollar bill in my back pocket

reminds me I had twenty

what somebody said to someone

you think that worries him

see the haze on commonplace streets

you're back in
