Coffee Beanery lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Coffee Beanery lyrics The coffee beanery was about to explode Or was it a field Nobody knows Nobody saw it coming But for days The forecast predicted frost The TV s radiated ice The Toyota became a baked Alaska And if we took out our spoons The windshield wipers scraping beneath A little work for dessert If every course would put up a good fight first All that you build will probably fall someday Then you ll be left with only Polaroids So, what I want to know is when the sky caves in Who s gonna pick up the pieces then The signs, they were all there before A blink of barrette the waves crashing down on the colonials Everybody said "don t get caught, darling, you gonna end up in a Folgers tin" But even they liked the storm And they drive me batty when they say things like that Cause you know I ve heard the stories, too Oh I ve heard the wives tale Where Polly at a load of stale reunion bread And got killed by one of her seven Siamese cats Never did want an American short-hair cause they ve got bones to pick All that you build will probably fall someday Then you ll be left with only Polaroids So, what I want to know is when the sky caves in Who s gonna pick up the pieces then I had a dream about Helena where she was strumming her cello like it was a banjo We got drunk and danced in the sand dunes till she said "Why don t we go and see about that parade?" And James with his beard which is down to his knees, is Probably in Asia chewing on a coil of ginseng and he s Writing me every week about the big beautiful world I kind of want to be a part of it. All that you build will probably fall someday Then you ll be left with only Polaroids So, what I want to know is when the sky caves in Who s gonna pick up the pieces then song lyrics
