Track 22 from "This Machine Kills Bathos" LP (Disc 1), by Patrick Porter (2006)
lyrics
TOM'S DINER RAG
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2006)
Well I hope that you're having
A good shift
And I hope that the customers
Aren't giving you much shit
And I hope that the cash register
Is full of tips
For you to bring home
And be rich
Well you know that I love you
And you know I care
And you know that when you come home
From your shift
I'll be there
I'll make you some popcorn
And we'll go to sleep
With two floor of apartments
Stacked beneath us
In the night
At dawn
When we go to sleep
