Dinner Mints
I met this girl, I tell you
She'll make you fall
You should see her diamond eyes, I bet you
She's seen it all
She told me she would meet me
At the restaurant by Joe's Drug Store
Here I've waited, never was seated
Sucking dinner mints by the bar
I look for a sign but there is nothing
I should have seen this coming, from her
'Cause bullshit's got such a recognizable scent
The only solace to be had is this dinner mint
I read it on the front page as the diner
Is about to close
Another crime, another bomb, another sinner
And the government blows
I use the napkin to wipe away what happened
But the stain stays easier that that
And I wonder could I go undercover
As someone who knows where it's at?
I look for a sign but there is nothing
How can I catch the truth when it's running away
And the get-the-ratings, operating
For a profit, never stop it,
Mind corruption, mass consumption,
Bullshit club doesn't give out a whole lotta hints?
The only truth that I can find is these dinner mints
Well my friend decided to drop by
Just to say hello
He made a chicken pot pie
On my stove
The way it tasted, I didn't wanna waste it
But that's not really why he came
Wanted to tell me he's unhealthy
Unemployed and feeling lame
He looked for a sign but there was nothing
He thought I might have something to help
'Cause where he lodge, he always dodge
That good-for-nothing, always fussing
No relating, only hating
Landlord man cause he can't even pay his rent
I said, "Theres comfort to be had, here's a dinner mint"
La la da da
I sit by the phone and think of that girl
Maybe she'll call
Well who am I fooling? That girl
Wasn't interested at all
What does it matter? I can't be mad at her
'Cause it just doesn't do no good
But all this waiting, can't help it's frustrating
When things don't go like they should
I wait for the ring, but there is nothing
Then I realize expecting something from that
Masquerading, so persuading
Only teasin', for no reason
Never honest, bullshit artist
Diamond eyed girl just don't make any sense
So now I'm happy to just be here with my dinner mints
La la da da
She'll make you fall
You should see her diamond eyes, I bet you
