Grease stains on the corner booth
Notebook catches red and blue
Order up two eggs over light
Pages glow in alley night
Coffee steam and vinyl seat
Words reflect the rainy street
Ketchup bottles catch the sign
Pink and green a jagged line
Short order dreams in midnight ink
Pen don't care what people think
Neon leather midnight letter
Tokyo drizzle nothing better
Neon leather midnight letter
Stories written wet and clever
Neon leather midnight letter
Tokyo drizzle keeps together
Regular at counter three
Writes haiku for the salary
Bacon sizzle the order called
Leather bound and weathered tall
Flip the grill and wipe the flat
Neon kanji imagine that
Ketchup bottles catch the sign
Pink and green a jagged line
Short order dreams in midnight ink
Pen don't care what people think
Neon leather midnight letter
Tokyo drizzle nothing better
Neon leather midnight letter
Stories written wet and clever
Neon leather midnight letter
Tokyo drizzle keeps together
Egg timer dings the shift is through
Wipe the counter count the tips
Notebook closes writing through
Neon reflection on the lips
Cook's break smoke by the back door
Leather cover nothing more
Rain taps rhythm on the tin
Let the next shift write begin
Grease and glory shift to shift
Notebook's gift a neon lift Midnight euphoria fatigue
So sweet melodic bittersweet
Neon leather midnight letter
Tokyo drizzle nothing better
Neon leather midnight letter
Stories written wet and clever
Neon leather midnight letter
Tokyo drizzle keeps together
First train rumbles dawn breaks pale
Notebook tucked in leather veil
The diner hums a tired song
Neon leather is nothing wrong
Black coffee cold but spirit warm
Tokyo night a uniform
Neon leather midnight letter
Tokyo drizzle nothing better
Neon leather midnight letter
Stories written wet and clever
Neon leather midnight letter
Tokyo drizzle keeps together
Neon leather midnight letter
Tokyo drizzle holds forever
Neon leather Midnight letter Tokyo drizzle
Keeps together
