Graveyard shift at the diner
don't get much lonlier than this
serving coffee to the widows
washing down the liquid bliss
Sunday service after work
the preacher man he always prays
I ask him for a second chance
but he just promises better days.
Graveyard shift at the Denny's
serving breakfast to the cops
they wash the blood off in the parking lot
from some young kid that they just shot
Sunday service in the morning
the preacher man he always preys
on the elderly and the weak
until they've given all they saved.
but i'm just cleaning up the vomit
the piss and shit up off the floor
collapsing on the bleach stained tile
saying "oh god i wanted more"
Jesus Christ let me go
talking myself in circles
I'll give my blood
I'll give my life
here's my mistakes
I'll make them right
but I'm such a coward
I can't even try
to leave this place
so I'll apologize
every time.
