here's a song ive been working on for a while. Thanks to Corey for helping out with the chords.

Sidewalk

Theres a party on the sidewalk
In the news today
There’s tommy at the bus stop
He said to say hey

I see people selling nothing
Others giving it for free
Selling souls by the dozen
People changin’ what they see

The sidewalk sale is over
People are chilling by their traps
Trippin on vitamins and
Socially acceptable snacks

There’s long tall Sally
Buying sneakers at the shop
She says people love her madly
And they don’t know wneh to stop

Little bobby’s at the drugstore
Scammin doctors by the hour
Yeah he always needs a bit more
He’s throwing pennies off the tower

Toss a nickle in the fountain
Make a wish for peggy sue
She’s driftin in her blind spot
She’s got a reckless point of view

Peggy sue, peggy sue
We never wanna lose you
Yes it’s true, yes it’s true
We’ve lost track of the time for you

The sidewalk sale is over
People are chilling by their traps
Trippin on vitamins and
Socially acceptable snacks

Tricky tracey’s off her rocker
She’s got some books on her shelf
She’s telling stories from the cellar
About her long lost wealth

And if you wanna sing with her
Well go ahead
You’re making up the rules
You’ll see her out all night
Amongst the beggars and fools

Mad Maggy’s on the corner
Spinning tricks for a hit
She knows her job’s gonna kill her
But she cant afford to quit

And if you wanna sing with her
Well go ahead
Perhaps she’ll sing along
You’ll see her out all night
Mixing her rights with her wrongs

Peggy sue, peggy sue
We never wanna lose you
Yes it’s true, yes it’s true
We’ve lost track of the time for you

Billy’s looking froa a free ride
He’s been anxious all his life
He lost some marbles on the inside
He’s got a make-believe wife

And if you wanna sing with him
Well go ahead
Perhaps he’ll sing along
You’ll see him out all night
He’s trying to finish this song

The sidewalk sale is over
People are chilling by their traps
Trippin on vitamins and
Socially acceptable snacks
