Your little white car looks like a rental And it's stalled at the save-on 'cause the starter's temperamental Call your boyfriend it goes to voice mail Leave a message, baby, get me please Wait at the laundromat read a magazine Tear out the page with the picture of some shoes You get impatient go to a cafe See a girl from your high school but you look away You take your coffee black, the way your mother would One packet sweet 'n' low one packet sugar Your boyfriend texts you he's sorry that he's late He didn't hear the ring he's on his way, on his way... You take your cough drops you call them hoarse pills But they won't help anything if you keep smoking Go to a movie go to the rodeo Ride the train with the vagrants and watch the buildings fall away
