Roxy's Diner

I have been looking for this song for only for....as long as I can remember. It's hard trying to find lyrics to a song when all you know is

"Ta ta ta ta
ta ta ta ta
ta ta ta ta
ta ta ta ta...."

This song is.

The shit.


Song Lyrics


It reminds me of me lately
Only
There's not many diners around here.
Only Large franchises like D.e.n.ny's and I.HOP.
So I went to IHOP the other day. This is how it went.

Roxy's Diner (experience)

I am standing
In the afternoon
at the IHOP
On Colonial

I am waiting
for the 16 year old
To seat me.
At a table


And he asks
If it's just me
at the table
for today.

I say yes.
I have no friends.
He smiles and says
"Right this way"

And He seats me
Next to
the loud family
of ten.

The waitress from
The Islands
Hands me
Some tap water


And she leaves
by the window
as I'm scrolling
On on the net


About the
Dem.ocr.atic
Race.
O.b.ama lost Indiana.
Damn



And my eyes meet his.
As he's wiping the counter
I smile and see the
waitress in the corner
Of my eye.

They must have
had a thing.
Some time long ago
She can keep relax
I don't want her man.
(He works at Ihop..no offense..maybe he's has bigger plans
and it's just a temporary thing..look. I just need a man who
strives for a bit more than that you know?)

And I'm pretending
not to notice
The couple
Arguing

They wanted to
Get a free
Apple topping
To go with their Stack

Bitches that
topping cost
99 cents get over it.
And pay the lady her money

And I'm listening
to the family
Tell a story in Spanish
And then I miss your voice

On my phone
In the mornings
When you ask me not
To go

And I finish up my dessert
That the waitress
Couldn't believe
I ordered.

After Just having
Bacon, Pancakes,
Hashbrowns, Cheese Omellete
Fried Cheesecake and Whipcream
On top of Ice-cream.

I finish the last bite.
Time to catch
American Idol.
