Lyrics
My Little Cell
Jean Mazzei
Coffee cup in the morning
Cigarette at night
Alone with my vision
I?m a deer in my headlights
I begged you to answer
You wouldn?t even say no
Bookcases falling
I was your last domino
Just like an invisible lover
A ghost around midnight
Coffee cup in the morning
Cigarette at night
I take it for granted
That you?re never at home
I stare out my window
But I?m never alone
Why go to the movies when I can sit in the dark for free?
Coffee cup in the morning
and People magazine
You?re my invisible lover
Like a nail stuck in a wall
Just enough to hang my self
Sitting in my little cell
From the outside don?t judge me
I need my routine
Coffee cup in the morning
satisfies me
