The Waitress-Atmosphere

[00:25.27]A city full of people and my favorite is that waitress [00:27.95]And she treats me like some kind of common vagrant. [00:30.14]I see her every day [00:31.20]But there's nothing to say [00:32.58]Unless I decide to step inside of that cafe [00:34.64] [00:35.27]I only get to sit if I buy something to eat [00:37.89]Otherwise its best to keep my feet moving down that street. [00:41.21]And god damn, she's a hard ***** [00:42.89]She talks at like I'm the bad dog that got into the garbage [00:46.33]Yeah I know that the toilet is for customers [00:48.58]You ain't gotta tangle up the strings that make this puppet work [00:51.77]It doesn't have to be a game of paddy-cake [00:53.95]But it ain't like you don't know I sleep in that alleyway. [00:56.83]And by the way, I can see it in your eyes [00:59.27]You're angry with your life, not a stranger to the fight [01:02.14]I bet you hate every man that you date [01:05.02]And you're probably addicted to all types of escape. [01:07.76]You take it out on me [01:08.83]That you're all alone [01:09.95]When you know you got your own closet full of hollow bones [01:12.95]Watch the tone when you speak to old folks [01:15.39]I'm grown, just trying to get out of this Minnesota cold. [01:18.77]"Look lady, please [01:19.89] [01:20.65]I'm homeless, I'm crazy [01:21.70]I'm so hopeless I'm suicidal daily. [01:23.58]If you and I can't coexist let's fake it [01:25.95]Cause I ain't got the energy it takes for this relationship." [01:29.52]I'm waiting for a city bus to flatten me [01:31.45]And transport me to the ever after happily. [01:33.58] [01:34.33]Maybe reincarnate, and with luck, [01:36.83]come back to Earth as a cockroach in your tip cup, [01:39.96]Huh. [01:40.71]She says she's had it up to here [01:42.65]She's gonna call authorities if I don't dissapear. [01:45.35]I love her threats [01:46.15]It rejuvinates my breath [01:47.59]I give her stress for the reaction that it gets. [01:50.65]I got a pocket full of panhandled money [01:52.65]On a cup of bad coffee and a stale honey bun. [01:55.03] [01:55.53]In front of everyone she calls me bum [01:57.91]But she notices my absence on those afternoons I don't come. [02:00.80] [02:01.49]So here I am, thorn in her hip [02:03.30]Corner table all morning with some corn chips. [02:05.12] [02:06.12]Ignoring the insults and evil eyes [02:08.94]I feed off em, I wonder when she'll realize. [02:10.73] [02:12.22]She's the only reason I visit [02:14.29]The only woman in my world that acknowledges my existence. [02:16.48] [02:17.17]And if my ship ever comes I'll miss it [02:19.41]Because I'm getting old and I ain't got much left to give it. [02:22.10] [02:22.60]So there it is, and I have to live with it [02:25.60]I had the chance to make a difference but I didn't. [02:27.66]In a cafe bathroom drinking free tap water [02:29.85] [02:30.42]Thinking damn I should have been a better father to my daughter.
