Sick Day Lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne - Fountains Of Wayne

Check out the girl in the harbor tunnel 

Crawling to work six feet under 

And the day has barely begun 

They're all chewing gum 

And laughing at the voice on the crackling radio station 

Lead us not into Penn station 

'Cause the best part's just begun 

We're all becoming once again 

And she's making the scene 

With the coffee and cream 

And the copy machine's not working 

She's a hell of a girl 

She's alone in the world 

And she likes to say "Hey good looking" 

She's on her way 

She's taking a sick day soon 

And here is the man pushing paper past her 

Thinks up ways to make the day go faster 

But the day goes on and on 

He dreams of his lawn 

And all about the pretty careerist the next cube over 

The fat secretary, the lunchtime lover 

Till the path train finally comes 

The platform's full of bums again 

And she's making the scene 

With the coffee and cream 

And the coffee machine's not working 

She's a hell of a girl 

She's alone in the world 

And she likes to say "Hey good looking" 

She's on her way 

She's taking a sick day soon
