about

A lengthy tune about torid love affair with a coffee bean.

lyrics

Well, I know that you come here from Columbia
And you think that you're all that.
Through all the warm-water towns they would pass you around
Like a street-show Saturday hat.

But it started out breezy, if a little bit greasy,
That little cup shaken and stirred.
Now, it's three times daily, a barista named Bailey,
Hanging on my every word.

'Cause loving you's insomnia,
A bittersweet amour.
A natural phenomenon.
I'm coming back for more.

The cost don't matter, when you're always up, batter
And a buzz in your head, like a crown.
'Cause it's the smell of your skin, it's the tannin and tin,
Keepin' me coming around.

‘Cause loving you's insomnia,
A bittersweet amour.
A natural phenomenon.
I'm coming back for more.

Instrumental

But you're kind of an addiction, a fair-trade affliction,
And I know I'm going to get burned.
Still, you're good for me baby, everybody says, "maybe"
To sugar-sweet tingle and churn.

‘Cause loving you's insomnia,
A bittersweet amour.
A natural phenomenon.
I'm coming back for more.
