[Verse 1]
I got a hankering something's gonna happen
I may be wrong, but then again I may be right
There must be a reason that I have been hanging 'round
For so long in this goddamn café all night

[Chorus]
Oh, I've sat and flipped yesterday's news
Refilled my cup of coffee over and over and over and over for you, dear
Oh, I've let them play grunge all the day
I reread 'zines, designed tattoos over and over and over and over
'Cause it's over, I belong to you

[Verse 2]
Oh, I'll say café society ain't what it once was
If I see one more roach crossing, I'll call the whole thing off
I think I'll stay here, right by your entrée, dear
Hopefully, hopefully, as the English do
But thank God I'm reading Proust
Remembering things of the past
Or should I say le temps perdu?

[Chorus]
Oh, I've sat and flipped yesterday's news
Refilled my cup of coffee over and over and over
Oh, I've let them play grunge all the day
I reread 'zines, designed tattoos over and over and over and over
'Cause it's over, I belong to you
