lyrics

The espresso machine still spits at dawn

My name tag bends on a blue steel chain

I count the bottles as the hours crawl on

The mop leans tired by the sink again

I fold my apron into squares

My shoes remember every stair

The clock above the register stares

I breathe in bleach and salt air

One last shift

One last shift

One last shift

One last shift

I leave the key in the drawer

One last shift

The lunch trays clatter by the back door frame

My locker door sticks on the painted seam

A paper cut on my thumb keeps my name

I wipe down the counter, clean as a dream

One last shift

One last shift

One last shift

One last shift

I leave the key in the drawer

One last shift

At Omonoia, the buses hiss outside

My badge goes dark in my palm tonight

I hate this place and I know I cried

Still I know every crack by sight

One last shift

One last shift

One last shift

One last shift

I leave the key in the drawer

One last shift
