One more dip into the cash register
I’ll feed you future, I’ll feed you desire
Served with a plate of my daily routine
Cup after cup after cup of stale caffeine

Ooh I move in slow motion
(Oh those young and carefree days)
Ooh I move in slow motion
(Oh those young and carefree days)

I put my number on a napkin for him
And stitched a flower on my favourite apron
But still, he never called me back
Next time I’ll put poison in his takeaway pack

I tell my daughter that I’m method acting
That all the coffee is why my hands shake and -

I never thought it would turn out like this
(Oh those young and carefree days)
I never thought I would be a middle-aged waitress
(Oh those young and carefree days)

I never thought it would turn out like this
(Ooh I move in slow motion)
I never thought I would be a middle-aged waitress
(Oh those young and carefree days)
I never thought it would turn out like this
(Ooh I move in slow motion)
I never thought I would be a middle-aged waitress
(Oh those young and carefree days)
