Aisle Conversations

(hummmmm) Is the supermarket open late tonight?

I need some milk and a little bit of light

Walking down the aisle

looking at the shelves

We are only strangers hiding from ourselves

Is the supermarket where you go to find

All the pieces that we left behind?

Lost between the frozen food and paper tea (ohhhh) Is the supermarket

where you look for me?

Bright fluorescent humming from up high

A perfect world beneath a manufactured sky

I saw your favorite cereal on display

It made me think of things we used to say

Is the supermarket where you go to find

All the pieces that we left behind?

Lost between the frozen food and paper

tea

(ohhhh) Is the supermarket where you look for me?

We checkout slowly, packing up the past

Wondering if any of this was made to last

Two paper bags filled up with yesterday

And nothing left to say

Is the supermarket open late tonight?

(hummmm) Just a little bit of light (ahhhh)
