Hall And Oates Abandoned Luncheonette Lyrics

Abandoned Luncheonette Lyrics

They sat in an Abandoned Luncheonette

 sipping imaginary cola and drawing faces in the tabletop dust

 His voice was rusty from years as a sergeant on "this man's army"

 they were old and crusty

 

 She was twenty when the diner was a baby

 He was the dishwasher, busy in the back, his hands covered with

 gravy

 Hair black and wavy

 Brilliantine slick, a pot - cleaning dandy,

 He was young and randy

 

 Day to day, to day... today

 then they were old, their lives wasted away

 Month to month, year to year

 they all run together

 time measured by the peeling of paint on the luncheonette wall

 

 They sat together in the empty diner

 filled with cracked china

 Old news was blowing across the filthy floor

 and the sign on the door read "this way out", that's all it read

 that's all it said
