Eggs and Sausage Intro (Live)

In a Cadillac With Susan Michelson

Nighthawks at the diner

Of Emma's 49er there's a rendezvous

Of strangers around the coffee urn tonight

All the gypsy hacks the insomniacs

Now the paper's been read

Now the waitress said

Eggs and sausage and a side of toast

Coffee and a roll hash browns over easy

Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries

What kind of pie

In a graveyard charade a late shift masquerade

2 for a quarter dime for a dance

With Woolworth rhinestone diamond

Earrings and a sideway's glance

And now the register rings

And now the waitress sings

The classified section offered no direction

It's a cold caffeine in a nicotine cloud

Now the touch of your fingers

Lingers burning in my memory

I've been 86ed from your scheme

I'm in a melodramatic nocturnal scene

I'm a refugee from a disconcerted affair

As the lead pipe morning falls

And the waitress calls
