In a coffee shop in a city |
|
Which is every coffee shop in every city |
|
On a day which is every day |
|
I picked up the magazine |
|
Which is every magazine |
|
Read a story, then |
|
I forgot it right away |
|
And they say, "Goldfish have no memory" |
|
I guess their lives are much like mine |
|
And the little plastic castle |
|
Is a surprise every time |
|
And it's hard to say, if they're happy |
|
But they don't seem much to mind |
|
From the shape of your shaved head |
|
I recognized your silhouette |
|
As you walked out of the sun and sat down |
|
And the sight of your sleepy smile |
|
Eclipsed all the other people |
|
As they paused to sneer at the two girls from out of town |
|
I said, look at you this morning |
|
You are, by far, the cutest |
|
But be careful getting coffee |
|
I think these people want to shoot us |
|
Or maybe there's some kind of local competition here |
|
To see who can be the rudest |
|
And people talk about my image |
|
Like I come in two dimensions |
|
Like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind |
|
Like what |
|
I happen to be wearing |
|
The day that someone takes a picture |
|
Is my new statement for all of womankind |
|
And I wish they could see us now |
|
In leather bras and rubber shorts |
|
Like some ridiculous new team uniform |
|
For some ridiculous new sport |
|
Quick someone call the girl police |
|
And, and file a report |
|
In a coffee shop in a city |
|
Which is every coffee shop in every city |
|
On a day which is every day |
