Same Place, Same Things
Verse 1
Waiting at a bus stop
Eating a fortune cookie
Smoking a cigarette
Reading a newspaper
Just a stranger among strangers
Looking at my watch as the bus arrives
sitting at the back as usual
If not at the sides, then in the middle
Glancing around, sometimes staring; which is rare
Waiting patiently as I get closer to my destination
Verse 2
Thinking about what happened yesterday
Recalling last week's events
Sometimes talking to myself
Looking to see if anyone noticed me
If they did, I just turn my head away
Assuring myself I'm as normal as anyone can be
Bridge
Travelling along the same route
Opening the same doors
Eating the same food day after day
Drinking the same beverages
Having the same songs being stuck in my mind
Basically following the same schedule without interruption
Seeing and avoiding the same people
Wondering if anything will change
Chorus
Same place, same things
Same location, same stuff
