The platform's full of bums again
Lead us not into Penn station
She's taking a sick day soon
He dreams of his lawn
She's taking a sick day soon
But the day goes on and on
She's a hell of a girl
The fat secretary, the lunchtime lover
She's on her way

And all about the pretty careerist the next cube over
And she likes to say "Hey good looking"
With the coffee and cream
And she likes to say "Hey good looking"
And she's making the scene
Doesn't have to be here too often
Till the path train finally comes
She's alone in the world
And the coffee machine's not working
She's on her way
And she's taking her time

And laughing at the voice on the crackling radio station

She's ahead of the line
'Cause the best part's just begun
And the day has barely begun
She's making a play
And here is the man pushing paper past her
It doesn't have to be fine
She's a hell of a girl
She's alone in the world

And the copy machine's not working
Thinks up ways to make the day go faster
They're all chewing gum
At the man in the cardboard coffin
She's taking a sick day soon
With the coffee and cream
As she's tossing a dime
We're all becoming once again
And she's making the scene
