The Preservation Society - 2 a.m. (feat. Lauren Slater)

She wait tables till 2 a.m.
I take a cup of coffee until then
Turn out the sign turn out the lights
Lock the door and check it twice
Rest your feet and count the change
The change I count and yesterday's are the same
Just a daydream diner night
The cup and saucer in a lovers fight
An empty plate can't find words for the moon
The Big Dipper's in love with the spoon
Neon hum's sweet serenade
To the jukebox who refuse to play
Wait for the clock to sigh at two
Grab my coat and walk home with you
Chairs hang like wallflowers around the room
And watch the mop slow slow dance with the broom
Lazy Susan embraces her name
She don't care to spin around again
Wrap the silverware tight
The fork don't care to spoon tonight
Not much changes day to day
This cup and saucer and the games they play
Much the same for me and you
But I count the days until they do
Just a daydream diner night
The cup and saucer in a lovers fight
An empty plate can't find words for the moon
The Big Dipper's in love with the spoon
Neon hums sweet serenade
To the jukebox who refuse to play
Wait for the clock to sigh at two
Grab my coat and walk home with you
