lyrics

Last shift, my badge still cold

At the time clock, red and slow

Gloria's laughing by the kettle

My coffee gone, my hands still low

Box of pens in the top drawer

Three dead lighters in the tin

I hate this floor, I know I do

Still, I feel that tug within

I fold the apron by the sink

Clock says six sixteen

My name tag's bent, my locker's bare

But I know what this means

One more shift, one more shift

One more shift, one more shift

Rinse that cup and lock that door

I won't be here anymore

The bus pulls up on Queen Street

Rain on the window, silver lines

Tina leaves me half a banana

Says, "Don't go quick, you'll miss these times"

The till jams once, I laugh out loud

The stapler bites my thumb again

I count the coins in the blue tray

And swear I'd leave, then stay again

One more shift, one more shift

One more shift, one more shift

Rinse that cup and lock that door

I won't be here anymore

I peel my gloves, I clear my tray

One last scan and one last key

They said goodbye in the storage room

Now all these hours sit with me

One more shift, one more shift

One more shift, one more shift

Rinse that cup and lock that door

I won't be here anymore
