Plastic Toast
(hey, hey!)
Two a.m. at the lobby desk
Fluorescent glare on a quiet night
A plastic cup and an earnest guest
Tracing lines in the yellow light
"Which way to the river bend?"
Under the wiper, a ticket waits
Shift change coming, keys on the hook
Tension rising in a heavy look (ahhhh)
Raise a cup to the midnight scene!
Where the lost and the working meet!
Under the wiper the warning glows But the wild wind blows down
the street!
Raise a cup to the midnight scene!
Where the lost and the working meet!
Under the wiper the warning glows But the wild wind blows down
the street!
Lost in the
neon stream At two a.m.
