Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's hard to leave your bed
The cool and hard summer sheets
Hangover hanging on by the fangs
Walk to work on wild feet
Get to the back door
Look around then turn the key
Turn on all the lights
Take down the chairs and make things neat
[Verse 2]
Hey there coffee girl
Beautiful and disaffected
It was perfect till
He came along and wrecked it
[Verse 3]
Your favorite mixed tape
You popped it into the deck
Don't care it's out of date
Ol' Cat Power and classic Beck
Beware Purveyors of cool
With their compacts of one
Taking cannons to fools
When all you need's a BB gun
[Verse 4]
Hey there coffee girl (Hey there coffee girl)
Beautiful and disaffected
It was perfect till (It was perfect till)
He came along and wrecked it
[Verse 5]
One night he'll make you choose
I am sorry but he will
The hardscape or your shoes
When the moon's behind the hill
[Verse 6]
Hey there coffee girl (Hey there coffee girl)
Beautiful and disaffected
It was perfect till (It was perfect till)
He came along and wrecked it
[Verse 7]
Hey there coffee girl
Hey there coffee girl
Hey there coffee girl
Hey there coffee girl
