check out the girl in the harbor tunnel crawling to work six feet under and
the day has barely begun they're all chewing gum and
laughing at the voice on the crackling radio station lead us not into
penn station cause the best part's just begun we're all
becoming one again and she's making the scene with the coffee and cream and
the copy machine's not working she's a hell of a
girl she's alone in the world and she likes to say hey good lookin she's on
her way she's taking a sick day soon and here is the
man pushing paper past her thinks up ways to make the day go faster but the
day goes on and on he dreams of his lawn and all
about the pretty careerist in the next cube over the fat secretary, the
lunchtime lover till the path train finally comes the
platform's full of bums again and she's making the scene with the coffee
and cream and the copy machine's not working she's a
hell of a girl she's alone in the world and she likes to say hey good
looking she's on her way she's taking a sick day soon and
she's taking her time as she's tossing a dime at the man in the cardboard
coffin it doesn't have to be fine she's ahead of the line
and doesn't have to be here too often she's making a play
she's taking a sick day soon
