Cheap Light

STUDIO

1, 2, 3, 4... [Verse] At a diner off the highway And my coffee tastes like Sunday And I don’t know why I came here I don’t know why I came The waitress doesn’t ask me She just pours and I just sit And the light above the counter Doesn’t flatter me a bit [Chorus] I told you I was fine I told everyone I was fine The word starts to mean nothing After the hundredth time Cheap light, cheap light Tells you everything You don’t want to know Oh cheap light [Verse 2] The man in the corner booth Looks just like my father Or someone who looked like him Before the years got longer He's not crying or complaining He’s just eating eggs alone And I want to go and sit with him But I don’t, I don’t, I don’t, I don't, I don't [Bridge] For the hundredth time I'm fine, I'm fine The word starts to mean nothing Under this cheap light [Chorus] Cheap light, cheap light Tells you everything You don’t want to know Oh cheap light I told you I was fine I told everyone I was fine The word starts to mean nothing After the hundredth time (I'm fine, fine) (I'm fine, fine) (I'm fine, fine) (I'm fine, fine) (I'm fine, fine) (I'm fine, fine) I'm fine
