lyrics
Downin my coffee like there's no tomorrow
Sittin in a joint with the temporary sorrow
Semaphore lover in my distant past
Smokin joes takin blows to my fixated ass
Hippie lifestyle callin both my names
Chain smokin chasers with no one to blame
Tablecloth's messin with my black ink flow
Like the watery coffee and the ashtray low
Givin my lemons to my drummer's girl
Thinkin of my seventeen different worlds
Tall blonde waitress with the paycheck blues
Fightin back time on a midnight cruise
Two stone losers on my friendship list
When you find love they get all pissed
Example of timing evident at the diner
One-time shot on the laid-off headliner
Workin class stiffs two tables away
Livin for the paycheck and never for the day
It's a shame for a person to be so stuck
My future's playin songs in the back of a truck
Throwin out numbers of the local bars
Phone book junkies who don't wanna be stars
Stars are too common and come out too soon
I make my wishes on a bright blue moon
Sittin in a joint with the temporary sorrow
Semaphore lover in my distant past
Smokin joes takin blows to my fixated ass
Hippie lifestyle callin both my names
Chain smokin chasers with no one to blame
Tablecloth's messin with my black ink flow
Like the watery coffee and the ashtray low
Givin my lemons to my drummer's girl
Thinkin of my seventeen different worlds
Tall blonde waitress with the paycheck blues
Fightin back time on a midnight cruise
Two stone losers on my friendship list
When you find love they get all pissed
Example of timing evident at the diner
One-time shot on the laid-off headliner
Workin class stiffs two tables away
Livin for the paycheck and never for the day
It's a shame for a person to be so stuck
My future's playin songs in the back of a truck
Throwin out numbers of the local bars
Phone book junkies who don't wanna be stars
Stars are too common and come out too soon
I make my wishes on a bright blue moon
