HALL & OATES - Abandoned Luncheonette lyrics

rate me

They sat in an abandoned luncheonette<br>Sipping imaginary cola and drawing faces in the tabletop dust<br>His voice was rusty from years as a sergeant on this man's army<br>They were old and crusty<br><br>She was twenty when the diner was a baby<br>He was the dishwasher, busy in the back, his hands covered with<br>Gravy<br>Hair black and wavy<br>Brilliantine slick, a pot - cleaning dandy,<br>He was young and randy<br><br>Day to day, to day... today<br>Then they were old, their lives wasted away<br>Month to month, year to year<br>They all run together<br>Time measured by the peeling of paint on the luncheonette wall<br><br>They sat together in the empty diner<br>Filled with cracked china<br>Old news was blowing across the filthy floor<br>And the sign on the door read this way out, that's all it read<br>That's all it said
