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
