Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Thought I'd moved to Sydney to get a little piece
Of city life they talk about in the 90s
Everyone I meet don't wanna know my name
They wanna know what I do for a living
[Verse 2]
My songs don't earn me money fill my pockets with cash
Every time I go busking I earn more in hash
And everything I wants getting further out of reach
Like that funky little apartment down on Bondi
[Verse 3]
See I've been getting cozy with a Kiwi boy
He'd kill me if I said he was sweet as apple pie
He's gonna leave me, gonna hit the road
He's touring with a theater
If you see him say I said hello
[Verse 4]
He's touring with a theater
All the birthday money that my parents sent
Got spent on my phone bill and paying my rent
Frijole, guacamole, anything you want
I'm working as a waitress in a Mexican restaurant
Working as a waitress
I'm working as a waitress
I'm working as a waitress
Yeah, I've been working as a waitress
