Lyrics

Shaking hands on a bachelor couch
I heard the knock I won't come out
Black guitar and a three chord tune
To keep me cozy in this cocoon

Now I'll be sleeping with one more drink
I'll rise with the sun on the Navesink
No hangover or heart to break
I treat myself to a hero's take of breakfast

Sweet healing breakfast
And I'll be over easy all the scrambled signs you gave me
Over breakfast
We're squared away now
Nothing left to say
Though I forgive with all the love I save

Frosted hair that never ends
Restraining order on her boyfriend
Cracking gum five color nails
Now I know this meal won't fail

Will she tally the check too soon?
Will the sausage make me swoon?
Will this omelette a nightmare chase?
My lips I lick, my heart I brace for breakfast

Sweet healing breakfast
And I'll be over easy those hard-boiled words you said
Over breakfast
We're squared away now
Nothing left to say
Good luck goodbye to those dark days ahead

Now I will eat them on a train
And I will eat them on a plane
But one thing I won't entertain
Is a flapjack dry as a desert plain

So hold the pancakes keep them warm
Syrup on the side in the classic form
Hot coffee keeping me awake
To write about my last mistake at breakfast

Sweet healing breakfast
And I'll be over easy all the scrambled signs you gave me
Over breakfast
We're squared away now
Nothing left to say
Though I forgive with all the love I save
