Fountains of Wayne - Sick Day lyrics

Check out the girl in the harbor tunnel<br>Crawling to work six feet under<br>And the day has barely begun<br>They're all chewing gum<br><br>And laughing at the voice on the crackling radio station<br>Lead us not into penn station<br>Cause the best part's just begun<br>We're all becoming one again<br><br>And she's making the scene<br>With the coffee and cream<br>And the copy machine's not working<br>She's a hell of a girl<br>She's alone in the world<br>And she likes to say hey good lookin<br>She's on her way<br>She's taking a sick day..soon<br><br>And here is the man pushing paper past her<br>Thinks up ways to make the day go faster<br>But the day goes on and on<br>He daydreams of his lawn<br>And all about the pretty careerist the next cube over<br>The fat secretary, the lunchtime lover<br>Til the path train finally comes<br>The platform's full of bums again<br><br>And she's making the scene<br>With the coffee and cream<br>And the copy machine's not working<br>She's a hell of a girl<br>She's alone in the world<br>And she likes to say hey good lookin<br>She's on her way<br>She's taking a sick day..soon<br><br>And she's taking her time<br>As she's tossing a dime<br>At the man in the cardboard coffin<br>It doesn't have to be fine<br>She's ahead of the line<br>And doesn't have to be here too often<br>She's making a play<br>She's taking a sick day..soon
