Lyrics for The Diner

I'm calling from the diner The diner on the corner I ordered two coffees One is for you I was hoping you'd join me 'Cause I ain't go no money And I really miss you I should mention that too Yes I know what time it is In fact, I just checked I even know the date And the month And the year I know I haven't been sleeping And when I do I just dream of you Dear I miss watching you Drool on your pillow I miss watching you Pull on your clothes I miss listening To you in the bathroom Flushing the toilet Blowing your nose I'm calling from the diner The diner on the corner I ordered two coffees One is for you The cups are so close The steam is rising In one stream How are you I think you're the least fucked up Person I've ever met And that may be as close to the real thing As I'm ever gonna get But my quarter's gonna run out now Or so I'm told I guess I'd better go sit down And wait for you Til my coffee gets cold
