Fountains of Wayne Follow

Check out the girl in the harbor tunnel
Crawling to work six feet under
And the day has barely begun
Theyre all chewing gum

And laughing at the voice on the crackling radio station
Lead us not into penn station
Cause the best parts just begun
Were all becoming one again

And shes making the scene
With the coffee and cream
And the copy machines not working
Shes a hell of a girl
Shes alone in the world
And she likes to say hey good lookin
Shes on her way
Shes taking a sick day..soon

And here is the man pushing paper past her
Thinks up wa
ys to make the day go faster
But the day goes on and on
He daydreams of his lawn
And all about the pretty careerist the next cube over
The fat secretary, the lunchtime lover
Til the path train finally comes
The platforms full of bums again

And shes making the scene
With the coffee and cream
And the copy machines not working
Shes a hell of a girl
Shes alone in the world
And she likes to say hey good lookin
Shes on her way
Shes taking a sick day..soon

And shes taking her time
As shes tossing a dime
At the man in the cardboard coffin
It doesnt have to be fine
Shes ahead of the line
And doesnt have to be here too often
Shes making a play
Shes taking a sick day..soon
