Working at the diner
Practice talking like people talk to me
Pour the water and watch them drink it
Make them happy if they can be

Baby it's a ritual
A sweet something
I want to be your good company
You'll never leave the table
Wondering

Aren't they lonesome for something long gone
Aren't I lonesome for it too
In a leather booth, with a red glass candle
Share a plate and slide closer to you

Baby it's a ritual
A sweet something
I want to be your good company
You'll never leave the table
Wondering

Baby it's a ritual
A sweet something
I want to be your good company
You'll never leave the table
Wondering
You never leave me wondering
