She starts and ends with the theme as she does in "32 flavors" and probably does in some other songs.
The butter melts because that's what it does and not only because the toast is warm.
The waitress and the man play out a scene they've played out many times before because it's their habit and routine.
She watches the sun stumble home to the sky as it does every morning. The coffee she drinks loses it's potency, as a stimulant, as she habitually drinks it and therefore it becomes as "water dressed in brown."
-For some reason the coffee line sticks out. I think that she noticed how she habitually drank coffee and found her inspiration in that.--beautiful
The "beautiful but boring" guy that visits her could be any regular guy that finds her attractive. This is where the song gets interesting. She says she doesn't care a lot and she plays. She plays out of habit, however she does tell him to not come any closer. I think this is where she breaks free of habit.
Her cunt is built like a wound that won't heal. This is a very powerful line and expresses, very directly, how she now feels about sex. I'm guessing that she used to have sex habitually and is tired of the regular old lay.
Then she tries to explain to this regular joe that there is more to living than sex. In three letters, art. And art doesn't have a definition. And she realizes that he's not actually comprehending the meaning behind what she's trying to say.
So she decides to stop playing for him. She wants him to show what he can do (to play for her), what sort of art he can create. She then reminisces about the way it used to be when she was just like the regular girl who then tryed something new and came up with something dazzling and beautiful, mainly her music. Therefore "fuck this time and place".
God this song is so depressing. But it really hits home and if you sit and ponder it for a little while you might find that if you try something new and just give it a shot you'll find your own personal style of "art."
