(Slug) A city full of people and my favorite is that waitress And she treats me like some type of common vagrant
I see her everyday, but there´s nothing to say Unless I decide to step inside of that cafe I only get to sit if I buy something to eat Otherwise it´s best to keep my feet moving down that street And god damn she´s a hard bitch Talks at me like I´m the bad dog that got into the garbage Yeah I know that the toilet is for customers You ain´t got to tangle up the strings to make this puppet work It doesn´t have to be a game of patty cake But it ain´t like you don´t know I sleep in that alleyway And by the way, I can see it in your eyes You´re angry with your life, not a stranger to the fight I bet you hate every man that you date
And you´re probably addicted to all types of escape You take it out on me that you´re all alone When you know you got your own closet full of hollow bones Watch the tone when you speak to old folks I´m grown, just trying to get out of this Minnesota cold
(Spoken) Look lady, I´m homeless, I´m crazy I´m so hopeless I´m suicidal daily If you and I can´t co-exist, let´s fake it Cause I ain´t got the energy it takes for this relationship
(Slug) I´m waiting for a city bus to flatten me
And transport me to the ever after happily Maybe reincarnated with luck Come back to Earth as a cockroach in your tip cup She said she´s had it up to here She´s gonna call authorities if I don´t disappear I love her threats, it rejuvenates my breath I give her stress for the reaction that it gets I got a pocket full of clean, handled money On a cup of bad coffee and a stale honey bun In front of everyone she calls me bum But she notices my absence on them afternoons I don´t come So here I am, thorn in her hip Holding down the corner table all morning with some corn chips Ignoring the insults and evil eyes I feed off of ´em, I wonder when she´ll realize That she´s the only reason I visit
The only woman in my world that acknowledges my existence And if my ship ever comes, I´ll miss it Because I´m getting old and I ain´t got much left to give it So there it is and I have to live with it I had the chance to make a difference, but I didn´t In the cafe bathroom drinking free tap water Thinking: "Damn, I should´ve been a better father to my daughter"
