Coffee Between Cigarettes (In The Lounge)

Lyrics

Well. they turned off the neon at the corner bar
But I wasn't ready to climb in my car
So I ambled away cross the street to the all-night cafe

Looked at the menu a time or two
But all I could see were your sweet baby-blues
I had to order, the man said, if I wanted to stay

So, I'm drinking coffee between cigarettes
Shuffling some cards and hedging my bets
Wondering how far a man like me’d get with someone like you
I’m drinking coffee between cigarettes
Re-playing back all of my wasted regrets
I should go but it’s as good as it gets
Drinking coffee and trying to forget

There's a black jack on the queen of hearts
Those two's and those three's are giving me starts
Each one it follows another
Ain't that always the way?

But the radio's on and the percolator's perking
The ceiling fan's fanning; the aspirin ain’t working
And if I'm not too careful, you just might make my day

So, I'm drinking coffee between cigarettes
Re-playing back all of my wasted regrets
Maybe you’ll come and sit when your working day sets; drinking coffee
I’m drinking coffee between cigarettes
Still shuffling cards, always hedging my bets
Guess I better go ‘cause it’s as good as it gets
Drinking coffee and trying to forget
