She's taking a sick day soon
With the coffee and cream
We're all becoming once again
At the man in the cardboard coffin
She's on her way
With the coffee and cream
And she's making the scene
She's alone in the world
And she likes to say "Hey good looking"
She's a hell of a girl
The platform's full of bums again
And she's taking her time
And she likes to say "Hey good looking"
She's ahead of the line
And the copy machine's not working
He dreams of his lawn
Doesn't have to be here too often
And she's making the scene
She's a hell of a girl
Thinks up ways to make the day go faster
She's making a play
And here is the man pushing paper past her
As she's tossing a dime
And the coffee machine's not working
'Cause the best part's just begun
And all about the pretty careerist the next cube over
Till the path train finally comes
They're all chewing gum
The fat secretary, the lunchtime lover
And laughing at the voice on the crackling radio station
She's alone in the world
And the day has barely begun
Lead us not into Penn station
She's on her way
It doesn't have to be fine
She's taking a sick day soon
But the day goes on and on
