Cold Coffee

Lyrics

Cold coffee and a couple of bucks
Come the morning commute
I collect myself as I collect my change

Just south of Fordham Station
I locked eyes with a stranger
She shunned my gaze but shared my pain

I can't wake another morning, no
Just to fake it one more day or two

Can you help me get my head on straight
Just a half an inch so I can muddle on through
Can you help me get my head on straight
Just a half an inch so I can muddle on through

I walk the shining staircase
Tooth-colored cascade
And count the ways that I intersect

Daylight and dollar signs
And soft depression
The pastel shades my face reflects

I can't wake another morning, no
Just to fake it one more day or two

Can you help me get my head on straight
Just a half an inch so I can muddle on through
Can you help me get my head on straight
Just a half an inch so I can muddle on through

My dear, I fear I have to concede
I might, I might, I might not succeed

I can't wake another morning, no
Just to fake it one more day or two

Can you help me get my head on straight
Just a half an inch so I can muddle on through
Can you help me get my head on straight
Just a half an inch so I can muddle on through

My head on straight a half an inch
So I can get home to you
