Five Cups of Coffee
The Jayhawks
from "Blue Earth" (Twin/Tone Records, 1989)
transcribed by John Davidson
--Verse 1--
Then I left here this morning it was just like before 
You say nothing changes passing time around here 
Stole a long string of pearls and I pawned downtown
Gonna buy me some good fun back where no one can see
--Chorus--
And the long black dream is over as the snow falls on and on  
And it takes five cups of coffee to calm down before I sleep
--Verse 2--
Let the sky soak on my clothes way back in the alley
All of the red beads mixed up in her pew
Take the chance that I left you knowing where you might lead me
So easy it is to believe in someone I never see
--Chorus--
--Break--
--Chorus--
