Fountains of Wayne - New Routine lyrics
[Fountains of Wayne - New Routine lyrics]
Two men sit in the corner of a diner
Both of them look quite a
Bit like Carl Reiner
One of them is smoking even though
The sign says not to
The waitress says to stop, he says "Sorry
But I've got to"
They tell each other jokes that they
Both know that they both know
They talk about real estate, prostates
Costco and when they finish up they leave
A twenty on the table
The waitress picks it up
With their half-eaten bagels
And when her shift is over
She goes back to Mineola sit's on the couch
Opens up a diet cola and says
I'm so i'm so sick of this place
I'm so ready for a change of pace
I'm just looking for a new routine
So she spins her globe
And the next thing you know
She's living in Liechtenstein
She doesn't speak German
Only high school Spanish
But within a few weeks she
Discovers she can manage
But there's not much going on
Except for banking and skiing
So she breaks up with the man
That she just started seeing
He drops her at the airport
In a diesel Mercedes
Thinks to himself "I'm so feeble
With the ladies and I
I'm so i'm so sick of this place
I'm so ready for a change of pace
I'm just looking for a new routine"
So he grabs his cap throws a dart at a map
And now he's living in Bowling Green
He talks his way into a job at La Quinta
Falls for the manager
Who's moving back to Canada
She's tried Roanoke, Reykjavik, Rome
Says "You're really sweet but I
Just want to go home"
Two men sit in the corner of a diner
One of them says "I might
Take a trip to China
It's one of those things we should
Do before we're too old"
"Thanks but no thanks
Bring me back an egg roll" bring it back
Bring it back bring it back
Bring it back
Both of them look quite a
Bit like Carl Reiner
One of them is smoking even though
The sign says not to
The waitress says to stop, he says "Sorry
But I've got to"
They tell each other jokes that they
Both know that they both know
They talk about real estate, prostates
Costco and when they finish up they leave
A twenty on the table
The waitress picks it up
With their half-eaten bagels
And when her shift is over
She goes back to Mineola sit's on the couch
Opens up a diet cola and says
I'm so i'm so sick of this place
I'm so ready for a change of pace
I'm just looking for a new routine
So she spins her globe
And the next thing you know
She's living in Liechtenstein
She doesn't speak German

Discovers she can manage
