[Verse]
The homeless people they approach me
hands out shaking like a broken tree
Some say they need help to eat
Just a bite
(Just a bite)
Sometimes I give in silent grace
Sometimes I can’t even look at their face
A heart can wear thin
When you see em every night and day
[Chorus]
The panhandlers try to disguise
Their sugar coated eyes
But the truth’s a thief
No place to hide
Drug addiction
It’s in the air
It’s in your skin
It’s everywhere
And I wonder sometimes
Do they think they can hide
Those sugar coated eyes
[Verse 2]
Some different faces occasionally
But usually it’s the same ole scene
And I think
Who am I to decide
Be A savior or a passerby
Can’t solve your pain
Can’t solve mine
The clock just ticks
As money goes bye to get their high
[Chorus]
The panhandlers try to disguise
Their sugar coated eyes
But the truth’s a thief
No place to hide
Drug addiction
It’s in the air
It’s in your skin
It’s everywhere
And I wonder sometimes
Do they think they can hide
Those sugar coated eyes
