Instant Coffee Blues
He washed all the road dirt from his face and from his neck
And sat down at her table and she picked up his check
And she took him home for reasons that she did not understand
And him he had the answers but did not play his hand
Cause him he knew the taste of this wine very well
It all goes down so easy but the next day is hell
Morning man was I drunk she wispered in the shower
While he lay there and smoked his way there through the final hour
And she felt wholly empty like she'd felt it every time
And he was feeling just the same cept he was tryin' to make it rhyme
Time was of the essence so they both did their best
To meet up in the kitchen feeling fully dressed
She just had to go to work and he just had to go
And she knew where and he knew how to blow it off and so
They shot the breeze quite cavalier to the boilin' of the pot
And sang the instant coffee blues and never fired a shot
And him he hit the driveway with his feelin's in a case
And her she hit the stoplight and touched up her face
So you tell them the difference between caring and not
And that it's all done with mirrors lest they forgot
I said it's all done with mirrors of which they have none
To blend the instant coffee blues into the morning sun
Blues do Café Instantâneo
Ele lavou toda a sujeira da estrada do rosto e do pescoço
E se sentou à mesa dela enquanto ela pegava a conta
E ela o levou pra casa por razões que não entendia
E ele tinha as respostas, mas não mostrou suas cartas
Porque ele conhecia bem o gosto desse vinho
Desce fácil, mas no dia seguinte é um inferno
"Manhã, eu estava bêbado", ela sussurrou no chuveiro
Enquanto ele deitava lá, fumando até a última hora
E ela se sentia completamente vazia, como sempre sentia
E ele estava se sentindo igual, só que tentando fazer rima
O tempo era precioso, então os dois deram o melhor de si
Pra se encontrar na cozinha, se sentindo prontos
Ela só precisava ir trabalhar e ele tinha que sair
E ela sabia onde e ele sabia como se livrar disso
Eles trocaram ideia despreocupados enquanto a água fervia
E cantaram os blues do café instantâneo sem disparar um tiro
E ele saiu da garagem com seus sentimentos numa caixa
E ela parou no semáforo e retocou a maquiagem
Então você diz a diferença entre se importar e não se importar
E que tudo é feito com espelhos, caso eles se esqueçam
Eu disse que tudo é feito com espelhos dos quais eles não têm nenhum
Pra misturar os blues do café instantâneo com o sol da manhã
