The Waitress
Atmosphere

A city full of people and my favorite is that waitress

And she treats me like some kind 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 its best to keep my feet moving down that street.

And god damn, she's a hard bitch

She talks at like I'm the bad dog that got into the garbage

Yeah I know that the toilet is for customers

You ain't gotta tangle up the strings that make this puppet work

It doesn't have to be a game of paddy-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, please

I'm homeless, I'm crazy

I'm so hopeless I'm suicidal daily.

If you and I can't coexist 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 reincarnate, and with luck, come back to Earth as a cockroach in your tip cup,


Huh.

She says 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 those 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 em, I wonder when she'll realize.

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 a cafe bathroom drinking free tap water

Thinking damn I should have been a better father to my daughter.
