Queen Of The Supermarket

Queen Of The Supermarket - Bruce Springsteen

There's a wonderful world where all you desire

And everything you've longed for is at your fingertips

Where the bittersweet taste of life is at your lips

Where aisles and aisles of dreams await you

And the cool promise of ecstasy fills the air

At the end of each working day she's waiting there

I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket

As the evening sky turns blue

A dream awaits in aisle number two

With my shopping cart I move through the heart

Of a sea of fools so blissfully unaware

That they're in the presence of something wonderful and rare

The way she moves behind the counter

Beneath her white apron her secret remains hers

As she bags the groceries her eyes so bored

And sure she's unobserved

I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket

There's nothing I can say

Each night I take my groceries and I drift away

And I drift away

Guidance from the gods above

At night I pray for the strength to tell her

When I love I love I love I love her so

Take my place in the check-out line

For one moment her eyes meet mine

I'm lifted up lifted up lifted up lifted up

I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket

Though her company cap covers her hair

Nothing can hide the beauty waiting there

The beauty waiting there

I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket

I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket

As I lift my groceries in to my car

I turn back for a moment and catch a smile

That blows this whole f**king place apart

I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket

I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket

I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket

I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
