Coffee and Cigarettes Lyrics

Lyric discussion by craigfishburn 

Cover art for Coffee and Cigarettes lyrics by Jimmy Eat World

I really dig the two references to The grateful Dead and Otis redding! One can only assume these two legends are influences on the band, would have never guessed.

Jim actually said he can't stand the Grateful Dead, but he just really thought the character in this song would have one of their bootlegs as they drove across country looking for something new.

People need to realize JEW's lyrics are a work of fiction. Jim creates characters and writes from their viewpoint.
