Truckstop Honeymoon - Breakfast In Seattle Lyrics
A smoke is sure to clear your coughTake a sip from a wounded soldierThrough your coat over your shoulderDays are long and need punctuationThe first stop is a gas stationBuy a pack of Old Goldsand some kind of beer you don't have to keep coldCoz the fridge is broke and that's alrightYou got no food no apetiteYou drink champagne and Krystal LiteThat's breakfast in SeattleTake a walk up Denny WayTry to get the blood back to your feetGo find the Green Cat Cafeand order someting to eatTwo eggs over hardPaid for on a gas cardYour Daddy never reads the statementHe gets the Bills, then he pays themYou meet Jimmy like you always doHe's always in the same shape as youYou walk together down Denny WayShouting out at the trafficHey you slaves, you coffee jerksYou CEOs, you're late for workYou go back to the monasteryWhere they are shootin' up in the sanctuaryYou got a pallet on the floorWhat do you need a god damn job for?You got credit and you got cashYou got coffee and you got hashYou've got friends, I can never haveI don't care, life's not so badSure it's cold but you don't complainYou'll like Seattle when its gray and rainingYou've had enough of the sunny southAnd redneck clubs, they sing aboutYou don't miss the slower paceYour mind--, it just loves to raceYou got means and you know waysYou can stay away for days and daysHere's the church and here's the steepleand my hypodermic space needleOpen the door and take a peekOn the fingers there are the peopleSuddenly it all comes clearYou can see all the way to Melbourne (1) hereUntil the rain sets in for goodDon't want your car washed, its understood.Baby you talk a mile a minuteand you tell the story, hey I'm in itI'll be walking with you all the wayUp the hill, to the Green Cat CafeThen it ends, like it beganWith an ashtray and an empty canHad a battle you can standat Breakfast in Seattle
