Abandoned Luncheonette

Lyrics

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
 On "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
 ♪
 The old sat together in the empty diner
 Filled with cracked china
 Old news was blowing across the filthy floor
 And the sign on the door read (the sign on the door read)
 "This way out," that's all it said
 Do-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 (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
 (Month to month) day to day
 (Year to year) day to day
 (Month to month) day to day
