Early Bird Cafe (晨鸟咖啡屋) - John Mellencamp[00:00:00]

Written by：Lane Tietgen[00:00:02]

Everybody's laughin' at the Early Bird Cafe[00:00:21]

I've been hidden there since yesterday[00:00:27]

And I believe I've lost my way[00:00:30]

Charlotte's there in organdy[00:00:34]

And billy's there in suede[00:00:38]

There's money in their pockets[00:00:40]

And all the dues are paid[00:00:44]

There's wine on every table[00:00:47]

And food on every plate[00:00:51]

Well I hope I get there pretty soon[00:00:54]

Before it gets too late[00:00:58]

Someone asked me what time it was and I[00:01:07]

Told him it was now[00:01:10]

He asked me just what that might mean[00:01:13]

But time would not allow[00:01:16]

So I gave away my watch to a passing businessman[00:01:19]

Well I hope he understands it now[00:01:26]

Cause I've done the best I can[00:01:30]

It was getting early[00:01:34]

So I rushed away from there[00:01:36]

With that ancient earth beneath my feet[00:01:40]

And new dust in my hair[00:01:44]

Well I ran on down the road a while to the other side of town[00:01:48]

My clothes were gettin' wrinkled and my socks were fallin' down[00:01:56]

But I could not stop to pull them up[00:02:02]

For fear that I'd be late[00:02:06]

So I kept on runnin' down the road until I saw the gate[00:02:09]

Of the Early Bird Cafe glowin' golden like the sun[00:02:17]

Everybody kept on singing saying[00:02:24]

Come on in we've just begun[00:02:28]

So I went right in and I set right down[00:03:00]

And I ordered up some wine[00:03:03]

The talk was fast clever[00:03:07]

And the women all were fine[00:03:10]

Charlotte asked me where I'd been with her jade and ivory eyes[00:03:14]

I told her I'd been hung up[00:03:20]

With some begger in disguise[00:03:24]

Well she laughed like temple bells[00:03:27]

Kissed me on the cheek and said[00:03:30]

You know it's hard to be alive sometimes[00:03:35]

But it's easy[00:03:43]

To be dead[00:03:46]
