My life is made of coffee cups and spoons.
I wander through a daze of days and mist.
I learn people by TV and show tunes.
Futures are told through tea leaves and through runes.
You read the lines I cut into my wrist.
My life is made of coffee cups and spoons.
My mind is made of shifting, windblown dunes.
I cannot know what I have never missed.
I learn people by TV and show tunes.
I'd rather spend my time with raving lunes
than memories of men or boys I've kissed.
My life is made of coffee cups and spoons.
My father drowned his sorrows in saloons.
He taught me lessons with his angry fists.
I learn people by TV and show tunes.
So all my learning's stuck in old cartoons,
I watched them as my father showed me this -
My life is made of coffee cups and spoons.
I learn people by TV and show tunes.
