i got a hankering something's gonna happen
i may be wrong
but then again i may be right
there must be a reason that i have been hnging round
for so long in this goddamn cafe all night

oh, i've sat and flipped yesterday's news
refilled my cup of coffee over and over
for you, dear
i've let them play grunge all the day
reread 'zines, designed tattooes over and over and over
cause it's over
i'm alone too you

oh, i'll  say cafe society ain't what it once was
if i see one more roach crossing
i'll call the whole thing off
but i think i'll stay here, right by your entre, dear
hopefully, as the english do
but thank god i'm reading Proust
remembering things of the past
or should i say le temps perdu

oh i sat and flipped yesterday's news
refilled my cup of coffee over and over
and i've let them play grunge all the day
reread 'zines, designed tattooes over and over and over

cause it's over
i'm alone too you
