Settled into my routine, Getting rather comfortable. Business has been steady, Life's become predictable. The regulars know my name, I remember what they order. Got a decent reputation In this overcrowded quarter. Someone's causing trouble nearby, Got the whole district on edge. People checking over their shoulders, Taking longer routes instead. Did I check the ventilation? Are the tables disinfected? Will the health inspector visit? Am I due for an inspection? Time flies, I fly with it, Same line, same rhythm. Straight ahead, easy living, Got my own little system. Round and round, day by day, Everything's in motion. Same line, same direction, Comfort in repetition. They've put warnings on the screens, People trade the latest rumors. Everybody's got a theory, Everybody knows a culprit. My supplier wants a raise, My landlord wants a fortune. Customers want bigger portions, And my freezer needs attention. Sanitation, inventory, Another invoice overdue. Someone left a nasty review, Spelled my business name wrong too. Time flies, I fly with it, Same line, same rhythm. Straight ahead, easy living, Got my own little system. Round and round, day by day, Everything's in motion. Same line, same direction, Comfort in repetition. Another face on the public screens, Last seen near the transit station. I've been there a hundred times, It's a busy intersection. My neighbor's getting nervous, Says she'd rather stay inside. I check tomorrow's reservations, Tell her she can come by anytime. Time flies, I fly with it, Same line, same rhythm. Straight ahead, easy living, Got my own little system. Round and round, day by day, Everything's in motion. Same line, same direction, Comfort in repetition. Same line, same rhythm, Same familiar direction. Time flies, I fly with it, Comfort in repetition.
