Truckstop Honeymoon - Breakfast In Seattle lyrics

Start the day as you left off A smoke is sure to clear your cough Take a sip from a wounded soldier Through your coat over your shoulder Days are long and need punctuation The first stop is a gas station Buy a pack of Old Golds And some kind of beer you don't have to keep cold Coz the fridge is broke and that's alright You got no food no apetite You drink champagne and Krystal Lite That's breakfast in Seattle Take a walk up Denny Way Try to get the blood back to your feet Go find the Green Cat Cafe And order someting to eat Two eggs over hard Paid for on a gas card Your Daddy never reads the statement He gets the Bills, then he pays them You meet Jimmy like you always do He's always in the same shape as you You walk together down Denny Way Shouting out at the traffic Hey you slaves, you coffee jerks You CEOs, you're late for work You go back to the monastery Where they are shootin' up in the sanctuary You got a pallet on the floor What do you need a god damn job for? You got credit and you got cash You got coffee and you got hash You've got friends, I can never have I don't care, life's not so bad Sure it's cold but you don't complain You'll like Seattle when its gray and raining You've had enough of the sunny south And redneck clubs, they sing about You don't miss the slower pace Your mind--, it just loves to race You got means and you know ways You can stay away for days and days Here's the church and here's the steeple And my hypodermic space needle Open the door and take a peek On the fingers there are the people Suddenly it all comes clear You can see all the way to Melbourne (1) here Until the rain sets in for good Don't want your car washed, its understood Baby you talk a mile a minute And you tell the story, hey I'm in it I'll be walking with you all the way Up the hill, to the Green Cat Cafe Then it ends, like it began With an ashtray and an empty can Had a battle you can stand At Breakfast in Seattle
