The Safest Day Of The Year

Oh Ah Yeah Hey One more coffee and the bill You've heard this but not by me The night sky's a rye and Pepsi I left the heat of my bed, and I walked for blocks Passed a cop, boarded-up shops, vacant lots All that flickers in the dark's discarded at dawn Night's marriage with the listener gone Now a lemon and silver light, it pulses through the sheers One more coffee, the safest day of the year It's the safest day, the safest day of the year The safest day of the year One more coffee and the bill Afternoon's white as smoke Zebra-wound-red and worn-out-tradition yellow I hear a garbage truck outside, the seal-arf of its brakes And the tuba filled with rocks when it accelerates And to the guy who's been shown all four walls And thrown around some more The waiter says, "Hey! I sell the eggs, I don't sit on 'em" After everything a poem about why now must end here One more coffee, the safest day of the year The safest day, the safest day of the year Safest day of the year One more coffee and the bill Twilight's a sale on paint It's the only way this riot of colors is explained When the quite one suddenly pounced What's with this certainty? Stop annoying us with your insecurities Now, usually a guy waiting gets what he's waiting for The next thing he knows he is lying on the floor But as the stars start to star, I have nothing to fear One more coffee on the safest day of the year, hey One more coffee, the safest day of the year The safest day of the year The safest day of the year, hey The safest day of the year, hey One more coffee, it's the safest day of the year, hey The safest day of the year, hey The safest day of the year, hey The safest day of the year, hey
