| Sun comes up, it’s tuesday morning
|
| Hits me straight in the eye
|
| Guess you forgot to close the blind last night
|
| Oh, that’s right, I forgot, it was me
|
| I sure do miss the smell of black coffee in the morning
|
| The sound of water splashing all over the bathroom
|
| The kiss that you would give me even though I was sleeping
|
| But I kind of like the feel of this extra few feet in my bed
|
| Telephone’s ringing, but I don’t answer it
|
| 'cause everybody knows that good news always sleeps till noon
|
| Guess it’s tea and toast for breakfast again
|
| Maybe I’ll add a little t.v. |
| too
|
| No milk! |
| god, how I hate that
|
| Guess I’ll go to the corner, get breakfast from jenny
|
| She’s got a black eye this morning, 'jen how’d ya get it? |
| '
|
| She says, 'last night, bobby got a little bit out of hand'
|
| Lunchtime. |
| I start to dial your number
|
| Then I remember so I reach for something to smoke
|
| And anyways I’d rather listen to coltrane
|
| Than go through all that shit again
|
| There’s something about an afternoon spent doing nothing
|
| Just listening to records and watching the sun falling
|
| Thinking of things that don’t have to add up to something
|
| And this spell won’t be broken
|
| By the sound of keys scraping in the lock
|
| Maybe tonight it’s a movie
|
| With plenty of room for elbows and knees
|
| A bag of popcorn all to myself
|
| Black and white with a strong female lead
|
| And if I don’t like it, no debate, I’ll leave
|
| Here comes that feeling that I’d forgotten
|
| How strange these streets feel
|
| When you’re alone on them
|
| Each pair of eyes just filled with suggestion
|
| So I lower my head, make a beeline for home
|
| Seething inside
|
| Funny, I’d never noticed
|
| The sound the streetcars make as they pass my window
|
| Which reminds me that I forgot to close the blind again
|
| Yeah, sure I’ll admit there are times when I miss you
|
| Especially like now when I need someone to hold me
|
| But there are some things that can never be forgiven
|
| And I just gotta tell you
|
| That I kinda like this extra few feet in my bed |
