What are you doing here?
You should be out in hollywood acting in movies,
in magazine pages and rock videos
Not just slinging pancakes in this shitty diner
Walking among all the crumbs on the floor
Rolling your silver and filling the ketchup by a picture
Of a boardwalk and ferris wheel carousel
You asked “who’s sitting here?”
I said that “you are” but I was just joking
That's my defense in case you didn’t want to
I’ve had my heart kicked in enough times to know that
It belongs in a junkyard by a windowless Nova
No one would want it so I keep my cards hidden
But you just sat down and that's where you’re still sitting
I can’t believe you’re still here
Holding our baby in the middle of the night
Trying to soothe her and keep her from crying
Among all the stuffies and the blankets and plastic
Bright shiny toys that make noises and light up
I don’t know what i ever did to deserve this
But i guess that I’ll take it, I guess this is perfect
