lyrics

Yes ma'am I'd like sugar to put in my coffee
the paper's delivered, could you hand me a copy?
Headline screams "world's crumbling down into sand"
and the kids wait so eager with pails in their hands

"Look out below!" screams Gabriel,
the world is a-turning anew
so be sure to tip your dear waitress
her well earned wage's due

and through the diner window,
I've got a front row view

I'm a mere mortal patron, this change I can't stop
take a look out the door, I can see fields of crops
rolling forever with ocean-like sway
if you're not with the farmers don't salt any clay

the jukebox is flipping he record,
so put on your black dancing shoes
and when the song's over don't fester
as a bitter residue

and through the diner window,
I've got a front row view

Press your ear down to the linoleum floor
hear a billion twitching fingers all locking their door
I guess that's why the place just feels so empty
cause everyone's outside enraged or repenting

Dynastic collector's editions,
your time on the shelf is now through
and when the neon flickers tomorrow
it's gonna shine on something new

and through the diner window,
I've got a front row view
