rhyme

Up around the corner there�s an all night coffee shop,
Where I sit and smoke your cigarettes
And wonder where all the love has gone.

I�m drinking double-doubles because they make me think of you,
I�m not that fond of sugar, but anything to get me through.

You�re at home, awake, sprawling in your easy chair
Singing songs about the Southland and how you wish I was there.
I�m thinking about Dakota,
North or South? Hell I don�t care,
Because I�m writing cheesy love songs in this all night coffee chair.

So you've said that I kick ass in these red shoes,
But where does that leave me and you?
Because the fluorescent lights are fading now,
We�re thru with green and gold,
And to tell the truth -- I�m cutting loose,
Because this scene is growing old.

Here am I, writing napkin love songs
In this all night Coffee Time,
Because the only way, I know to say this is in rhyme.
