Coffee Can (Album Version) - Guardian[00:00:00]
Each night the dream began[00:00:23]
We were sitting here waiting on our coffee cans[00:00:26]
Eyes fixed upon the skies[00:00:29]
I was thinking of you and if I qualified[00:00:31]
Then when the trumpet blew[00:00:34]
The reality hit this wasn't pay-per-view[00:00:37]
My can lifted up and out[00:00:40]
Until a siren wailed and a megaphone shouted[00:00:42]
Pull that bucket over[00:00:46]
Let me see your registration[00:00:48]
You'll be questioned at the station by a good cop/bad cop[00:00:50]
If they find you guilty[00:00:58]
They'll impound your can in Hades[00:01:01]
Where the grounded lads and ladies had it good 'til the last drop[00:01:04]
I watched the others fly[00:01:18]
On their coffee cans as they waved goodbye[00:01:21]
Freed from the earthy grind[00:01:23]
They had escaped the roast I'd been identified[00:01:26]
Dream police nowhere to be found[00:01:29]
I was left here choking on the muddy grounds[00:01:32]
I calmed down and reached for my Pez[00:01:35]
But the head on the dispenser was Juan Valdez[00:01:37]
Pull that bucket over[00:01:41]
Let me see your registration[00:01:43]
You'll be questioned at the station by a good cop/bad cop[00:01:45]
If they find you guilty[00:01:53]
They'll impound your can in Hades[00:01:57]
Where the grounded lads and ladies had it good 'til the last drop[00:02:00]
Tossing in my sleepa gain[00:02:06]
The metaphor was wearing thin[00:02:09]
Until my nightmare stretched it even more[00:02:12]
Lord you placed the bitter cup[00:02:19]
Against your lips and drank it up[00:02:22]
To bring me where you are[00:02:25]
I can't believe I've wandered off this far[00:02:29]
Woke up and smelled the coffee[00:02:47]
I don't like what caffeine does to me[00:02:49]
God's got a pull I've felt first hand[00:02:52]
I've gotta stop believing in my coffee can[00:02:55]
Pull that bucket over[00:02:58]
Let me see your registration[00:03:01]
You'll be questioned at the station by a good cop/bad cop[00:03:04]
If they find you guilty[00:03:11]
They'll impound your can in Hades[00:03:14]
Where the grounded lads and ladies had it good 'til the last drop[00:03:17]
Bad dream but I understand[00:03:37]
That you can't get to Heaven on a coffee can[00:03:40]
