DNA, Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner (7" Version)(1998)

[00:34.19] I am sitting in the morning at the diner on the corner
[00:39.16] I am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee
[00:43.88] And he fills it only halfway
[00:46.27] And before I even argue
[00:48.82] He is looking out the window at somebody coming in
[00:54.60]
[01:03.22] "It is always nice to see you," says the man behind the counter
[01:08.07] To the woman who has come in
[01:10.47] She is shaking her umbrella
[01:13.14] And I look the other way as they are kissing their hellos
[01:17.76] And I'm pretending not to see them
[01:20.31] And instead I pour the milk
[01:23.66]
[01:32.66] I open up the paper
[01:34.78] There's a story of an actor who had died while he was drinking
[01:39.66] He was no one I had heard of
[01:42.25] And I'm turning to the horoscope
[01:44.63] And looking for the funnies
[01:47.04] When I'm feeling someone watching me
[01:49.60] And so I raise my head
[01:52.90]
[02:13.58] There's a woman on the outside looking inside
[02:17.04] Does she see me?
[02:18.39] No, she does not really see me
[02:20.63] 'Cause she sees her own reflection
[02:23.28] And I'm trying not to notice
[02:25.42] That she's hitching up her skirt
[02:27.96] And while she's straightening her stockings
[02:30.85] Her hair is getting wet
[02:34.66]
[02:46.86] Oh, this rain, it will continue through the morning
[02:50.92] As I'm listening to the bells of the cathedral
[02:55.99]
[02:58.35] I am thinking of your voice
[03:01.06]
