"Coffee"
:[ lyrics ]:
Lyrics by Evan Mallet and Music by Ben Buttrick

It's not because you're rich and strong
It's not becuase of how you make my teeth move in my head
It's not because we get along
Oh you know it's deeper than that
I want to drink you up
So. baby, pour a cup
Of your sweet love and let me
Melt like sugar at your feet
Any other name, it wouldn't sound so sweet as

Coffee, drink a lot of
Coffee, think about it
Coffee, yeah
Caffeinated pure brew
Mountain-top, black as night coffee

I think about you when I sleep
I think about the way you make my heart race like a train
This is more than I had bargained for
This is my impression of sane
I want to shout your name
I want to keep my head on the same page
And walk like Chaplin if I can
Take a break for my favorite thing, man

I don't care if we all die
I don't care if bombs blow holes in my green eyes
Just so you don't even leave me
High and dry
The world is full of flaws
So I can just thank God for you
You make me stir crazy as a loon
This love buzz, it's better than June, yeah

....
