The Crying Waitress Songtext
von Hogwash

Images sometimes in my head
With words so vivid
That they feel like memories
In them most people look the same
But they′re much nicer to me
And they don't tell me I′m kind of a fucking stray

One day she'll stop bending over

She believes in deeper emotions
(I've taught myself the ropes)
She′s only going through the motions
(We′ll never work)
She wants herself to be more than cautionary
Don't give in to destruction
Don′t believe in illusion


Dreaming of being someone else
Is not an option for me
My life's the way it should be
But if I had to make a choice
Between my daily routine
And a better one I wouldn′t hesitate

One day she'll stop bending over

She′s so loving yet she feels so numb
(I've taught myself the ropes)
She relies on many rules of thumb
(We'll never work)
All attempts to help won′t be necessary
Don′t give in to destruction
Don't believe in illusion

Take me back to times when life was fun
(When my life was fun)
Didn′t have to feel a thing for anyone
I was glad just to be on my own
(To be on my own)
Now I'm spending hours again on the phone


She believes in deeper emotions
(I′ve taught myself the ropes)
She's only going through the motions
(We′ll never work)
She wants herself to be more than cautionary
Don't give in to destruction
Don't believe in illusion

She set the place and walked away
Looked back with no regrets
She′s not a saint
She′s just a waitress
Somehow they'll never forget her name
