Fifteen Minute Friend

she came a long way from the lipton hills
tradin' pennies for cheap thrills

now november's chill
sinks it’s teeth in tonight

let her tell you
about her life
----------
I sold the stock
and changed the lock

where does that leave me Love

it’s a funny thing
when the phone won’t ring
when you finally want it to

da’ fuk yous want from me
wanna get me off-broadway

maybe walk a beat
on forty-second street

tickle my ears
at hawthorne station

I'm now a citizen
of the metro-north nation

what the hell
what the hell

did you not hear the bell
and what is that smell

it’s the end of the line
and they’re all outta wine

voice on the intercom
somethin’ bout stuck here
til’ the engine is switched

here we go again - oh shit

I guess I’ll just sit here
and play with my glowing screen

pretend I don’t see
the gorgeous guy
sittin’ next to me

he moved his stuff and his butt
to make room for me
shared a friendly smile
oh my - so sweet

if you’ve sat in that seat
you know what I mean

oh boy we’re moving again
guess we’re just fifteen-minute-friends

and that’s ok
hope to see him again - someday
----------
and for the next twenty years
from that fifteen-minute-friendship
she hoped to see him again

but now she’s taken her last ride
someday we’re all gonna die

and maybe on the other side
she’ll see her fifteen-minute-friend again…/
