Atmosphere - The Waitress lyrics

A city full of people and
My favorite is that waitress
And she treats me like some
Type 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 it's best to keep my
Feet moving down that street
And god damn she's a hard bitch
Talks at me like I'm the bad
Dog that got into the garbage
Yeah I know that the toilet is for customers
You ain't got to tangle up the
Strings to make this puppet work
It doesn't have to be a game of patty 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, I'm homeless, I'm crazy
I'm so hopeless I'm suicidal daily
If you and I can't co-exist, 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 reincarnated with luck
Come back to Earth as a
Cockroach in your tip cup
She said 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
Them 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 of 'em
I wonder when she'll realize
That 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 the cafe bathroom drinking free tap water
Thinking: "Damn, i should've been a better
Father to my daughter"
