I am eating hash browns in the snow white diner Outside cars are honking, flashing lights on the bridge They're pulling a car out from the bottom of the frozen lake A woman drove her Saturn into the black water Killed herself and her two kids, strapped in the backseat She'd lost her job and didn't want her kids to be poor The diner is noisy, black coffee and sugar, baskets of dinner rolls Outside the crowd is growing, waiting by the draw bridge Hoping to see the dead ones face In the booth next to me There are two old women eating liver and onions And they're laughing to loud and banging the table top But then I see that they're deaf I don't know why they're laughing Maybe the worlds much nicer when you can't hear the cars They make me feel better like I'm drunk on a plane And have forgotten I'm afraid to fly
