To get the full effect you really have to listen to the cd for exact
picking...but there it was...when i play it i pick at the very bottom of my
guitar to get a bit closer to the tenor guitar sound.

Lyrics
In a coffeeshop in a city
Which is every coffeeshop in every city
On a day which is everyday
I picked up a magazine
Which is every magazine
I read a story then I forgot it right away
They say goldfish have no memory
I guess their lives are much like mine
And the little plastic castle
Is a surprise everytime
And it's hard to say if they're happy
But they don't seem much to mind
From the shape of your shaved head
I recognized your silhouette
As you walked out of the sun and sat down
And the sight of your sleepy smile
Eclipsed all the other people
As they paused to sneer at the two girls
From out of town
And i said look at you this morning
You are, by far, the cutest
But be careful getting coffee
I think these people wanna shoot us
Or maybe there's some kinda local competition here
To see who can be the rudest
People talk about my image
Like I come in two dimensions
Like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind
Like what I happen to be wearing
The day that someone takes a picture
Is my new statement for all of womankind
And i wish they could see us now
In leather bras and rubber shorts
Like some ridiculous new team uniform
For some ridiculous new sport
Quick! Someone call the girl police and file a report!
In a coffeeshop in a city
Which is every coffeeshop in every city
On a day which is everyday
