Tom’s Diner LyricsI am thinking of your voice
And of burning like bling bling
I'm thinking once upon a time
Before the rain began
As moaning people start getting busy
Look at them, it's just so crazy!
They all trap sour, by their race
To even recognize their mother's face
Business is all they really care of
Dead lies sadly all their lives
While my mind is be in corner
By a smaller world in a coffee
I am sitting in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I waiting at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee
And he fills it only halfway
And before I even argue
He is looking out the window
At somebody coming in
"It is always nice to see you"
Says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in
She is shaking her umbrella
And I look the other way
As they are kissing their hello's
And I'm pretending not to see them
Instead I pour the milk
And then suddenly the world just freeze
Like someone called curtains up
And they're playing different comedies
On the same stage in the very same time
Nothing seemes to be important
While I watch lives passing by
Everything seemes now so distant
From this time your world in this coffee time
I open up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking
It was no one I had heard of
And I'm turning to the horoscope
And looking for the funnies
When I'm feeling someone watching me
And so I raise my head
There's a woman on the outside
Looking inside. Does she see me?
No she does not really see me
Cause she sees her own reflection
And I'm trying not to notice
That she's hitching up her skirt
And while she's straightening her stockings
Her hair is getting wet
Oh, this rain it will continue
Through the morning as I'm listening
To the bells of the cathedral...
By a smaller world in a coffee
And I finish up my coffee
And it's time to catch the train
