It's still so dark because it's
Chipper little girlie at the front desk doesn't mind at all
These phony living rooms and
Fake plants are killing me
This bad coffee's filling me with equal parts joy and rage
Put my makeup on and crack in half
Find the camera with the red light
The lights come on and so I smile wide and say
I throw to you before I throw the rest away
Got the donuts which means
I got the donuts that I wanted
And I am still sort of amazed that you can be born in the nineties
When I don't like what they talk about
But they just cue me through the window
The lights come on and so I smile wide and say
I throw to you before I throw the rest away
While they do the weather I pretend I'm writing something
I keep my smile warm in case they turn the camera on
'Cause now I have something to say
The camera's melting but I
Just keep going, it's been a
Pleasure knowing you I wish you all the best of luck
When the prompter dies I'm
Comfortable winging it I'm
Practically singing it, the song that tears the world apart
Through the smoke beyond my parking space
On the billboard by the highway
The lights come on and so I smile wide and say
I throw to you before I throw the rest away More from Jonathan Coulton
