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)
