An hour not known as a pair Hopeless to find sober fare But under flags of green and white My slightly above, a below average night Coffee and chicory waiting to see the Sun The folks that sit around me Two groups that rarely agree Long in the tooth just beginning their day Still cutting teeth, night fading away I don't know where I fit in the crowd Sitting in the worlds' café Waiting on a warm beignet In between the old and young Wondering if I'm no fun Does my life need a crazy past So I can know what things won't last Do I need to walk in muddy shoes Before I see ocean views They said that I'm older inside Cause I shake a hand and look in the eyes Do straight and narrow come to dead ends While open roads finds the highway again Do wrong turns make your map a better guide Sitting in the worlds' café Waiting on a warm beignet In between the old and young Wondering if I'm no fun Does my life need a crazy past So I can know what things won't last Do I need to walk in muddy shoes Before I see ocean views The crown of grey will say Don't make our same mistakes They found wisdom yet They stumbled on their way The city stands out of time The music, despair, and sublime Wind is thick so I swim around town Sun up again and I wander around Dark covered alleys with knickknacks and bric-a-brac stores
