[00:00:21] Everybody's laughin' at the Early Bird Cafe

[00:00:27] I've been hidden there since yesterday

[00:00:30] And I believe I've lost my way

[00:00:34] Charlotte's there in organdy

[00:00:38] And billy's there in suede

[00:00:40] There's money in their pockets

[00:00:44] And all the dues are paid

[00:00:47] There's wine on every table

[00:00:51] And food on every plate

[00:00:54] Well I hope I get there pretty soon

[00:00:58] Before it gets too late

[00:01:07] Someone asked me what time it was and I

[00:01:10] Told him it was now

[00:01:13] He asked me just what that might mean

[00:01:16] But time would not allow

[00:01:19] So I gave away my watch to a passing businessman

[00:01:26] Well I hope he understands it now

[00:01:30] Cause I've done the best I can

[00:01:34] It was getting early

[00:01:36] So I rushed away from there

[00:01:40] With that ancient earth beneath my feet

[00:01:44] And new dust in my hair

[00:01:48] Well I ran on down the road a while to the other side of town

[00:01:56] My clothes were gettin' wrinkled and my socks were fallin' down

[00:02:02] But I could not stop to pull them up

[00:02:06] For fear that I'd be late

[00:02:09] So I kept on runnin' down the road until I saw the gate

[00:02:17] Of the Early Bird Cafe glowin' golden like the sun

[00:02:24] Everybody kept on singing saying

[00:02:28] Come on in we've just begun

[00:03:00] So I went right in and I set right down

[00:03:03] And I ordered up some wine

[00:03:07] The talk was fast clever

[00:03:10] And the women all were fine

[00:03:14] Charlotte asked me where I'd been with her jade and ivory eyes

[00:03:20] I told her I'd been hung up

[00:03:24] With some begger in disguise

[00:03:27] Well she laughed like temple bells

[00:03:30] Kissed me on the cheek and said

[00:03:35] You know it's hard to be alive sometimes

[00:03:43] But it's easy

[00:03:46] To be dead
