I look at nothing when I feel the Buddha
I've stoned the apostles of peace
It's an old way of knowing
If you've got licorice or grease

Someone standing in the frame of the door
Girl's been waiting, but she can wait a little more

Lady I don't even work here
This happens to me every time I come
Today in sweatpants and flip flops
Looking like a platypus nonplussed

Someone looking after me when it's bad
Losing touch, lie about the time we had

I guess that you're the wrong waitress
And this isn't my coke
But the sign said OPEN
I was hoping I could sit here and smoke
Where do you think I've been
For the last two hours?

I liked it better when the paint was peeling
The coffee bitter, stronger, burned then, too
It's a trip down a memory now
A silhouette of lonesome nights before I met you

Someone asking me to sign the dotted line
Thumbprint ink stain, throwing hands and rolling eyes

I take the stages Davis blew
The ghosts of hard bop fill this Greenwich greenroom
I feel them pulsing, whispering, valving spit
And I lose myself in the moment
House lights up and I'm half-lit
Cash in hand, had over rent

Baby I don't even know you
But I want to be the apron on your hips
So let me take down your order
By sunrise, it's me and you, orange juice, and grits

Someone cooking in a loose Navajo
Wake up smiling, make me feel I found a home

I guess that I'm the raw walrus
And this isn't my dream
But the door was open
I was hoping I could sit here and scream
I don't know where I've been
For the last two hours
There's somebody sitting up
with the lights on, worried
For me
Why me?
