Abandoned Luncheonette

They sat in an abandoned luncheonette sipping imaginary cola

And drawing faces in the tabletop dust

His voice was rusty from years as a sergeant in this man's army

He was old and crusty

She was 20 when the diner was a baby, he was the dishwasher

Busy in the back, his hands covered with gravy

Hair black and wavy, brilliantine slick, a pot cleaning dandy

He was young and randy, yeah

Day to day, to day to day, then they were old, their lives wasted away

Month to month, to year to year, they all run together, all run together

Time measured by the peeling of paint

On the luncheonette wall

They all sat together in the empty diner filled with cracked china

Old news was blowin' across the filthy floor

And the sign on the door read (Sign on the door read) this way out

That's it all it said, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, that's all it said

Ooh, that's all it said

Day to day, to day to day, then they were old, their lives wasted away

Month to month and year to year (Year to year)

And month to month to month and year to year

(Month to month, year to year)

(Month to month) Day to day (Year to year) day to day

(Month to month) Day to day (Year to year) day to day

(Month to month) Day to day (Year to year) day to day

(Month to month) Day to day (Year to year) day to day

(Month to month) Day to day (Year to year) day to day
