| [00:25.27] |
A city full of people and my favorite is that waitress |
| [00:27.95] |
And she treats me like some kind of common vagrant. |
| [00:30.14] |
I see her every day |
| [00:31.20] |
But there's nothing to say |
| [00:32.58] |
Unless I decide to step inside of that cafe |
| [00:34.64] |
|
| [00:35.27] |
I only get to sit if I buy something to eat |
| [00:37.89] |
Otherwise its best to keep my feet moving down that street. |
| [00:41.21] |
And god damn, she's a hard bitch |
| [00:42.89] |
She talks at like I'm the bad dog that got into the garbage |
| [00:46.33] |
Yeah I know that the toilet is for customers |
| [00:48.58] |
You ain't gotta tangle up the strings that make this puppet work |
| [00:51.77] |
It doesn't have to be a game of paddy-cake |
| [00:53.95] |
But it ain't like you don't know I sleep in that alleyway. |
| [00:56.83] |
And by the way, I can see it in your eyes |
| [00:59.27] |
You're angry with your life, not a stranger to the fight |
| [01:02.14] |
I bet you hate every man that you date |
| [01:05.02] |
And you're probably addicted to all types of escape. |
| [01:07.76] |
You take it out on me |
| [01:08.83] |
That you're all alone |
| [01:09.95] |
When you know you got your own closet full of hollow bones |
| [01:12.95] |
Watch the tone when you speak to old folks |
| [01:15.39] |
I'm grown, just trying to get out of this Minnesota cold. |
| [01:18.77] |
"Look lady, please |
| [01:19.89] |
|
| [01:20.65] |
I'm homeless, I'm crazy |
| [01:21.70] |
I'm so hopeless I'm suicidal daily. |
| [01:23.58] |
If you and I can't coexist let's fake it |
| [01:25.95] |
Cause I ain't got the energy it takes for this relationship." |
| [01:29.52] |
I'm waiting for a city bus to flatten me |
| [01:31.45] |
And transport me to the ever after happily. |
| [01:33.58] |
|
| [01:34.33] |
Maybe reincarnate, and with luck, |
| [01:36.83] |
come back to Earth as a cockroach in your tip cup, |
| [01:39.96] |
Huh. |
| [01:40.71] |
She says she's had it up to here |
| [01:42.65] |
She's gonna call authorities if I don't dissapear. |
| [01:45.35] |
I love her threats |
| [01:46.15] |
It rejuvinates my breath |
| [01:47.59] |
I give her stress for the reaction that it gets. |
| [01:50.65] |
I got a pocket full of panhandled money |
| [01:52.65] |
On a cup of bad coffee and a stale honey bun. |
| [01:55.03] |
|
| [01:55.53] |
In front of everyone she calls me bum |
| [01:57.91] |
But she notices my absence on those afternoons I don't come. |
| [02:00.80] |
|
| [02:01.49] |
So here I am, thorn in her hip |
| [02:03.30] |
Corner table all morning with some corn chips. |
| [02:05.12] |
|
| [02:06.12] |
Ignoring the insults and evil eyes |
| [02:08.94] |
I feed off em, I wonder when she'll realize. |
| [02:10.73] |
|
| [02:12.22] |
She's the only reason I visit |
| [02:14.29] |
The only woman in my world that acknowledges my existence. |
| [02:16.48] |
|
| [02:17.17] |
And if my ship ever comes I'll miss it |
| [02:19.41] |
Because I'm getting old and I ain't got much left to give it. |
| [02:22.10] |
|
| [02:22.60] |
So there it is, and I have to live with it |
| [02:25.60] |
I had the chance to make a difference but I didn't. |
| [02:27.66] |
In a cafe bathroom drinking free tap water |
| [02:29.85] |
|
| [02:30.42] |
Thinking damn I should have been a better father to my daughter. |
