Cigarettes Behind the Loading

Текст песни

[Verse 1] Kevin smoked cigarettes behind the loading door Kept the little silver pack tucked underneath the floor He hoped we wouldn’t know, but the ash gave him away And Tyler saw the smoke curl up at break of day [Chorus] Kevin had a list of every wrong thing Tyler’d done He’d shout it by the freezer till the working day was gone Then he’d grab his coat and leave before the evening bell While Miss Dean kept burgers moving, keeping everything well [Verse 2] Miss Dean held down the burger joint from open till the close Counted every order twice and knew which customer chose Tyler slaved away on sweating pipes behind the wall Chasing down the cold air when the old machines would stall [Chorus] Kevin had a list of every wrong thing Tyler’d done He’d shout it by the freezer till the working day was gone Then he’d grab his coat and leave before the evening bell While Miss Dean kept burgers moving, keeping everything well [Bridge] One man knew the register, one man knew the lines One man knew the smoke breaks and the failures he could find But when the kitchen bell rang and the lunch crowd filled the room Tyler fixed the cooling plant, and Kevin left too soon [Final Chorus] Kevin had a list of every wrong thing Tyler’d done He’d shout it by the freezer till the working day was gone Then he’d grab his coat and leave before the evening bell While Miss Dean kept burgers moving, keeping everything well [Outro] Kevin smoked cigarettes behind the loading door Tyler wiped the sweat away and went back to the floor
