"Hankering" lyrics
"Hankering"
I got a hankering something's gonna happen
I may be wrong, but then again I may be right
There must be a reason that I have been hanging 'round
For so long in this goddamn café all night
Oh, I've sat and flipped yesterday's news
Refilled my cup of coffee over and over and over and over for you, dear
I've let them play grunge all the day
I reread 'zines, designed tattoos over and over and over and over
'Cause it's over. I belong to you
Oh, I'll say café society ain't what it once was
If I see one more roach crossing, I'll call the whole thing off
I think I'll stay here, right by your entrée, dear
Hopefully, hopefully, as the English do
But thank God I'm reading Proust
Remembering things of the past. Or should I say le temps perdu?
Oh, I've sat and flipped yesterday's news
Refilled my cup of coffee over and over and over and
I've let them play grunge all the day
I reread 'zines, designed tattoos over and over and over and over
'Cause it's over. I belong to you

My window show the same
Without you here the seasons pass me by

Bright Eyes - "Lua" I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk
I keep waving at the taxis; they keep turning their lights off
But Julie knows a party at some actor's west side loft

Amos Lee - "Colors" Yesterday I got lost in the circus
Feeling like such a mess
And now I'm down
I'm just hanging on the corner
I can't help but reminisce
Cuz when you're gone
All the colors fade
When you're gone
No...
