Lyrics

Da da da da da da da da,

da da da da da da da da.

Da da (F#m9)da da da da da da,

da da (F#m7)da da da da da da.

Da da (F#m9)da da da da da da,

da da (F#m7)da da da da da da.

Da da (F#m9)da da da da da da,

da da (F#m)da da da da da da.

Da da (F#m9)da da da da da da,

da da (F#m)da da da da da da.

Da da (F#m9)da da da da da da,

da da (F#m)da da da da da da.

Da da (F#m9)da da da da da da,

da da (F#m)da da da da da da.

Da da da da da da da da.

I am sitting in the morning at the diner on the corner.

I am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee.

And he fills it only halfway,

and before I even argue, he is looking out the window at somebody coming in.

Da da (F#m9)da da da da da da,

da da (F#m)da da da da da da.

Da da (F#m9)da da da da da da,

da da (F#m)da da da da da da.

"It is always nice to see you,"

says the man behind the counter to the woman who has come in.

She is shaking her umbrella.

And I look the other way as they are kissing their hellos,

and I'm pretending not to see them,

and instead I pour the milk.

Da da (F#m9)da da da da da da,

da da (F#m)da da da da da da.

Da da (F#m9)da da da da da da,

da da (F#m)da da da da da da.

"It is da da da da da da.

I open up the paper;

there's a story of an actor who had died while he was drinking.

It was no one I had heard of.

And I'm turning to the horoscope and looking for the funnies,

but I'm feeling someone watching me,

and so I raise my head.
