| A city full of people and my favorite is that waitress
|
| And she treats me like some type of common vagrant
|
| I see her every day, but there’s nothing to say
|
| Unless I decide to step inside of that cafe
|
| I only get to sit if I buy something to eat
|
| Otherwise it’s best to keep my feet moving down that street
|
| And god damn she’s a hard bitch
|
| Talks at me like I’m the bad dog that got into the garbage
|
| Yeah I know that the toilet is for customers
|
| You ain’t got to tangle up the strings to make this puppet work
|
| It doesn’t have to be a game of patty cake
|
| But it ain’t like you don’t know I sleep in that alleyway
|
| And by the way, I can see it in your eyes
|
| You’re angry with your life, not a stranger to the fight
|
| I bet you hate every man that you date
|
| And you’re probably addicted to all types of escape
|
| You take it out on me that you’re all alone
|
| When you know you got your own closet full of hollow bones
|
| Watch the tone when you speak to old folks
|
| I’m grown, just trying to get out of this Minnesota cold
|
| Look lady, I’m homeless, I’m crazy
|
| I’m so hopeless I’m suicidal daily
|
| If you and I can’t co-exist, let’s fake it
|
| 'Cause I ain’t got the energy it takes for this relationship
|
| I’m waiting for a city bus to flatten me
|
| And transport me to the ever after happily
|
| Maybe reincarnated with luck
|
| Come back to Earth as a cockroach in your tip cup
|
| She said she’s had it up to here
|
| She’s gonna call authorities if I don’t disappear
|
| I love her threats, it rejuvenates my breath
|
| I give her stress for the reaction that it gets
|
| I got a pocket full of panhandled money
|
| On a cup of bad coffee and a stale honey bun
|
| In front of everyone she calls me bum
|
| But she notices my absence on them afternoons I don’t come
|
| So here I am, thorn in her hip
|
| Holding down the corner table all morning with some corn chips
|
| Ignoring the insults and evil eyes
|
| I feed off of 'em, I wonder when she’ll realize
|
| That she’s the only reason I visit
|
| The only woman in my world that acknowledges my existence
|
| And if my ship ever comes, I’ll miss it
|
| Because I’m getting old and I ain’t got much left to give it
|
| So there it is and I have to live with it
|
| I had the chance to make a difference, but I didn’t
|
| In the cafe bathroom drinking free tap water
|
| Thinking: «Damn, I should’ve been a better father to my daughter» |
