The Handsome Family - The Snow White Diner lyrics

I am eating hash browns in the snow white diner Outside cars are honking, flashing lights on the bridge They're pulling a car up from the bottom of the frozen lake A woman drove her Saturn into the black water k**ed herself and her two kids trapped in the backseat She'd lost her job and didn't want her kids to be poor The diner is noisy, black coffee and sugar Baskets of dinner rolls, outside the crowd is growing Waiting by the drawbridge, hoping to see the dead woman's face In the booth next to me there are two old women Eating liver and onions and they're laughing too loud And banging the tabletop, but then I see that they're deaf I don't know why they're laughing, maybe the world's much nicer If you can't hear the cars They make me feel better like I'm drunk on a plane And have forgotten that I'm afraid to fly
