Coffee Girl - The Tragically Hip

It’s hard to leave your bed

The cooling hot summer sheets

Hangover hanging on by the fangs

Walk to work on wild feet

And get to the back door

Look around then turn the key

Turn on all the lights

Take down the chairs and make things neat

Hey there coffee girl

Beautiful and disaffected

It was perfect till

He came along and wrecked it

Your favorite mix tape

You popped it into the deck

Don’t care it’s out of date

Old Cat Power and classic Beck

Beware purveyors of cool

With their compacts of one

Taking canons to fools

When all you need’s a BB gun

Hey there coffee girl

Beautiful and disaffected

It was perfect till

He came along and wrecked it

One night he’ll make you choose

I am sorry but he will

The hardscape or your shoes

When the moon’s behind the hill

Hey there coffee girl

Beautiful and disaffected

It was perfect till

He came along and wrecked it

Hey there coffee girl

Hey there coffee girl

Hey there coffee girl

Hey there coffee girl
