For the man to pour the coffee

And he fills it (1)________ halfway
And before I even argue

Says the man behind the counter

And I look the other way

And instead I pour the milk

I open up the paper
There's a (3)__________ of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking
It was no one I had (4)__________ of

And I'm (5)______________ to the horoscope
And looking for the funnies
When I'm feeling (6)______________ watching me
And so I raise my head

There's a woman on the outside
Looking inside

Cause she sees her own reflection

And I'm trying not to notice
That she's hitching up her skirt
And while she's straightening her stockings

Oh, this (7)________ it will continue
Through the morning as I'm listening
To the (8)__________ of the cathedral
I am thinking of your voice...

And of the (9)________________ picnic
Once upon a time
Before the (10)________ began...

I finish up my coffee
It's time to catch the train
