Tom's Diner (7" Version) DNA, Suzanne Vega

[00:34.19] I am sitting in the morning at the diner on the corner [00:39.16] I am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee [00:43.88] And he fills it only halfway [00:46.27] And before I even argue [00:48.82] He is looking out the window at somebody coming in [00:54.60] [01:03.22] "It is always nice to see you," says the man behind the counter [01:08.07] To the woman who has come in [01:10.47] She is shaking her umbrella [01:13.14] And I look the other way as they are kissing their hellos [01:17.76] And I'm pretending not to see them [01:20.31] And instead I pour the milk [01:23.66] [01:32.66] I open up the paper [01:34.78] There's a story of an actor who had died while he was drinking [01:39.66] He was no one I had heard of [01:42.25] And I'm turning to the horoscope [01:44.63] And looking for the funnies [01:47.04] When I'm feeling someone watching me [01:49.60] And so I raise my head [01:52.90] [02:13.58] There's a woman on the outside looking inside [02:17.04] Does she see me? [02:18.39] No, she does not really see me [02:20.63] 'Cause she sees her own reflection [02:23.28] And I'm trying not to notice [02:25.42] That she's hitching up her skirt [02:27.96] And while she's straightening her stockings [02:30.85] Her hair is getting wet [02:34.66] [02:46.86] Oh, this rain, it will continue through the morning [02:50.92] As I'm listening to the bells of the cathedral [02:55.99] [02:58.35] I am thinking of your voice [03:01.06]
