Lyrics

I am sitting in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee

And 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
And I'm pretending not to see them
Instead, I pour the milk

Everybody's welcome
Come on, come on in
Suit yourself down
The funnies never ends

Love 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 of

And I'm turning to the horoscope
Looking for the funnies
When I'm feeling someone watching me
And so I raise my head

So I raised my head
So I raised my head
