๐ Lyrics
I was driving down the interstate through Winslow, Arizona
I had seven vices on my mind
False, avarice, fornication, television, whiskey, beer and wine
Mama tried to raise me better but I held her in contempt
And I punched her in the nose
And I laughed the day that I broke the heart of my San Antonio rose
The lightning etched the sky as I wondered why I had come to no good end
So I lit another fag and I took a drag
A smoke was my only friend
The thunder was a-clapping and the wipers were slapping
When I heard an awful crash
Then I woke up at this formica counter
With a plate of corned beef hash
Waitress, waitress, bring me some coffee
Make it as hot as you can
And bring me a light for this everlasting night
At the Highway Cafe of the Damned
There's a black velvet painting of the King of Rock 'n Roll
Hanging just beside the door
The short-order cook has a lean and hungry look
As he soils the kitchen floor
The radio is playing Barry Manilow incessantly
It almost drives me mad
A drunken local trollop tries to pitch the double wallop
To a salesman clad in plaid
Waitress, waitress, bring me some coffee
Make it as hot as you can
And bring me a light for this everlasting night
At the Highway Cafe of the Damned
I tried to leave but twelve-headed Cerberus is holding me at bay
The truck zoomed by and I know that I am doomed to forever stay
Death, thou comest when I had thee least in mind
I was cut down in my prime
Sentenced to stale rolls and warmed-over casseroles
Until the end of time
Waitress, waitress, bring me some coffins
And bring me a light for this everlasting night
At the Highway Cafe of the Damned
Waitress, waitress, bring me some Kafka
I know he's your kind of man
And bring me a light for this everlasting night
At the Highway Cafe of the Damned
I had seven vices on my mind
False, avarice, fornication, television, whiskey, beer and wine
Mama tried to raise me better but I held her in contempt
And I punched her in the nose
And I laughed the day that I broke the heart of my San Antonio rose
The lightning etched the sky as I wondered why I had come to no good end
So I lit another fag and I took a drag
A smoke was my only friend
The thunder was a-clapping and the wipers were slapping
When I heard an awful crash
Then I woke up at this formica counter
With a plate of corned beef hash
Waitress, waitress, bring me some coffee
Make it as hot as you can
And bring me a light for this everlasting night
At the Highway Cafe of the Damned
There's a black velvet painting of the King of Rock 'n Roll
Hanging just beside the door
The short-order cook has a lean and hungry look
As he soils the kitchen floor
The radio is playing Barry Manilow incessantly
It almost drives me mad
A drunken local trollop tries to pitch the double wallop
To a salesman clad in plaid
Waitress, waitress, bring me some coffee
Make it as hot as you can
And bring me a light for this everlasting night
At the Highway Cafe of the Damned
I tried to leave but twelve-headed Cerberus is holding me at bay
The truck zoomed by and I know that I am doomed to forever stay
Death, thou comest when I had thee least in mind
I was cut down in my prime
Sentenced to stale rolls and warmed-over casseroles
Until the end of time
Waitress, waitress, bring me some coffins
And bring me a light for this everlasting night
At the Highway Cafe of the Damned
Waitress, waitress, bring me some Kafka
I know he's your kind of man
And bring me a light for this everlasting night
At the Highway Cafe of the Damned
