lyrics
A short order cook fixes eggs a dozen different ways and
mornings are the time of day that we insist on what we need like
not too runny or
don't speak to me before my cup of coffee.
Jam or ham
on the side
It's not that complicated.
Spoons, forks, and knives.
The daily clatter of our lives.
Upstairs a bathroom littered with letters
graffiti painted over blue
turns out the prose still shows through
the testament remains
The Buddha, Manson, Wilde, and Yeats
next to your life long love
whom you hate.
Draw her name on the wall or scratch it in the window.
Keep your nose up to the glass
so it's the pain you see past.
You cuss the customers with maps in their hand,
but their your passage to another land.
You say it's such a lonely planet,
how'd we read it in the same book?
The travel guide should tell you its a small town.
Take another look around
all the faces stay the same,
some probably know your name.
Oh. the night is like the morning.
And the days are not full enough,
no the nights are not full enough...
"so life slips by, like a field mouse, never rushing the grass"
