Dunkin' Donuts: 3AM

12/12/2015

0 Comments

 
He's outside to smoke a cigarette
conversations about the radio station
and how music moves you

Does it move you?
Not this new stuff, not the way it used to

and everybody wants to know who I am
I am
I am
on the search for a pen
scratching out the fluctuations of a day at its end

and it's all so achingly normal
like the songs on the radio
they come and go
they come and go

Here's a good one, remember this?
Does it move you like it used to do?

And here I find a typical situation
wishing I was anywhere, when we could be
anybody...I am anybody
so what then?

I'm wishing on a pen
Like I'm writing out the future fit for a king
fit for a day full of everything

What are you writing?
I used to write back before the war
What are you writing,
stories about someplace else?

Well, we all want to be someplace else
Like the places on the television shows
they come and go

You heard this one, yeah, it's a good one
This moves me in a way I've never thought
Yeah, this one moves me the way it used to do
Pass the coffee pot

And that pen is flying like nothing else
scratching out the pleas of the achingly normal
dreams upon the shelf

They all want to know what I am thinking
I'm thinking about everything else
And how I'm moved right here
like the songs on the radio
​
Does it move you?
Yeah, you know it moves you
Just the way it used to do
