I am sitting in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
For the man to pour the coffeeAnd he fills it only halfway
And before I even argue
He is looking out the window
At somebody coming in."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
I'm pretending
Not to see them
Instead
I pour the milkEverybody's welcome
Come on, come on in
Suit yourself down
The funnies never endsLove is the drug
That makes you wanna drink
'Til the morning after
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 ofAnd I'm turning
To the horoscope
Looking for
The funnies
When I'm feeling
Someone watching me
And so
I raise my head.
