lyrics

Instant Coffee (pt. 1)

you’re there in your room
dispelling the gloom
L.A. haze like lake effect snow
the new police, you know they know
that you’re making coffee
it smells so good

now on a train
you’re moving away
to New York for an undetermined stay
what do you do?
who do you see?
when you’re speaking you’re speaking shaky Arabic
or is it Farsi?
take some more sour cold instant coffee

so it’s eight weeks in a New York cell
your wife don’t know if you’re doing well
only that you’ve gone
and that the men were cold
intractable late in the night

roll back, way back
roll back, way back
roll back, way back
roll back, way back
