The Snow White Diner Lyrics
I am eating hash browns in the Snow White Diner
Outside some cars are honking, flashing lights on the bridge
They're pulling a car up from the bottom of a frozen lake
A woman drove her Saturn into the black water
Killed herself and her two kids trapped in the back seat
She'd lost her job and didn't want her kids to be poor
The Diner is noisy, black coffee and sugar
Baskets of dinner rolls, outside the crowd is growing
Waiting by the drawbridge, hoping to see the dead woman's face
In the booth next to me, there are two old women
Eating liver and onions and they're laughing too loud and banging the tabletop
But then I see that they're Death
I don't know why they're laughing
Maybe the world's much nicer if you can't hear the cars
They make me feel better like I'm drunk on a plane
And I've forgotten that I'm afraid to fly
Outside some cars are honking, flashing lights on the bridge
They're pulling a car up from the bottom of a frozen lake
A woman drove her Saturn into the black water
Killed herself and her two kids trapped in the back seat
She'd lost her job and didn't want her kids to be poor
The Diner is noisy, black coffee and sugar
Baskets of dinner rolls, outside the crowd is growing
Waiting by the drawbridge, hoping to see the dead woman's face
In the booth next to me, there are two old women
Eating liver and onions and they're laughing too loud and banging the tabletop
But then I see that they're Death
I don't know why they're laughing
Maybe the world's much nicer if you can't hear the cars
They make me feel better like I'm drunk on a plane
And I've forgotten that I'm afraid to fly

Not Death, deaf. Deaf.
