Hemlock Café
(lyrics by Benjamin Repp)
[Guitar Solo Intro]
[Main Verse 2x – stop]
[Main Verse]
Friday Sits upon a bar stool, waiting for a holiday
Sunday’s in the kitchen, talkin’ ‘bout yesterday
Time still needs a reason, but it always comes to late
The Rainbow is going crazy, ‘cause his cue stick isn’t straight
[Chorus]
But its just another day, at the Hemlock café
…just another day….
[Main Verse 2x – stop]
[Main Verse]
The Jester lost his marbles, when the Joker got away
The Jukebox can’t remember, what songs it used to play
The Morning is buying tickets, to win the lottery
Because the rights to his fortune, remain a mystery
[Chorus]
But its just another day, at the Hemlock café
…just another day…
[Break]
…and mister bad luck comes stumbling in at noon
He’s been working overtime…
For the needle and the sliver spoon [pause]
[Main Verse 2x – stop]
[Main Verse]
Chance the bartender, says he’s doing fine
I don’t know how he keeps together, when his problems stand in line
Boredom and Frustration, have seen it all before
So they sit looking out the window, hoping they’ll find what there’re looking for
[Chorus]
But its just another day, at the Hemlock café
…just another day
But its just another day, at the Hemlock café
…just another day
[Outro Lick 8x]
