Dear Catastrophe Waitress Lyrics

Is the angry looking lady on the album cover the catastrophe waitress?

I think that the catastrophe waitress is a person, and we all know people like this, who is constantly in s a state of crisis. The narrator, evidently, is a person who tends to fall for people like her, get wrapped up in their crises, and feel the need to save them. Hence the catastrophe waitress becomes catastrophe girlfriend. Funny song.

@moik I read this and couldn't agree more - then I noticed, "Oh, I wrote this sixteen years ago." Ha!
