Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am sitting in the morning at the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee
And he fills it only halfway, and before I even argue
He is looking out the window at somebody coming in
[Verse 2]
"It is always nice to see you," says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in, she is shaking her umbrella
And I look the other way, as they are kissing their hellos
And I'm pretending not to see them – instead I pour the milk
[Verse 3]
Everybody's welcome, come on, come on in
Sit yourself down, the funnies never end
Love is the drug that makes you wanna drink
Till the morning after
[Verse 4]
I ope–, I-I-I-I-I-I
I open up the paper, there's a story of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking, it was no one I had heard of
And I'm turning to the horoscope, looking for the funnies
When I'm feeling someone watching me, and so I raise my head
