Marian Call - Coffee by Numbers (Faon's Song) lyrics

I'm wearing five pretty hats today I got four places to be and three critical endeavours to save Two hands are not enough to balance all this stupid stuff and One head can hardly run on zero hours of sleep You know that it's not fun But Sixth Avenue is calling me away It's seven blocks from here to eight or nine perfect cafés I guess I've drawn some kind of line, gonna drop some balls, gonna make some time My steps are steering that way now It's not like I'm useful lately anyhow I'm gonna waste some time and play I'm gonna find the right café I'm gonna lay down my dismay and sit in just one chair all day And wonder wonder wonder -- what it would take to stop The world -- a spell I feel dizzy and a bit unwell Just sit, just stare There's no one in mortal peril if I Stop the world awhile One raw sugar please, I love your smile Babe Just chill, just breathe I'll take this one in a real cup please I'm gonna breathe deep 'til I'm dizzy Hey Stranger, you look pretty busy Hey Love, you look like a zombie on parade You got a cell phone sword and a briefcase barricade You can't taste your coffee when you drink so fast, is that your tenth Or eleventh cup? Stranger, look at me I've never said hello and that's k**ing me I've seen you here a dozen times But I've been wrapped up in my rhymes We've both got places to be and people to see and doubtless ladders to climb But wouldn't you wouldn't you love to stop The world -- with me Take ten minutes being just to be We'll talk -- or not You don't really need that extra shot Just sit down -- drink up Darlin', you look simply thunderstruck I'm new myself To this startled state of mental health And I'm mad, I'm sore So let's hold the phone, babe, let's hit ignore Might read, might just write Or I might not do one damn worthwhile thing tonight I like to walk downtown at night I like the calm, the dark, the lights I like the bracing winter air And I like having five minutes to care How've you been on your feet so long As if you had to run the world, had to right every last wrong As if you could! As if we're all waiting on you Aren't you tired of somnambulating? Stop the world a spell If you feel sick step off the carousel Just sit -- just stare Did you think the world would really care If you stopped the world with me? Sit down Love, we'll take some tea Let's rage, let's cry It feels so nice to depetrify Love I wanna lay down roots, I wanna hold the line I want a day of rest, I want a Sunday smile So take off your hat and unclench your teeth And fill up your mouth with something sweet You have to breathe Write it on your forehead if you need to Just don't forget -- Or aren't you tired of somnambulating yet?
