PRELUDE:
Come and let me tell you of
a tale as old as time,
About life and love and stars above
and ninety-nine cent pork rinds.
Wounded knees and epiphanies
have made me who I am,
Without further ado, let me tell you
Just how it all began...
7-ELEVEN:
I woke up from counting sheep
When it came to me in a dream.
Said it was my destiny,
preconceived and meant to be.
So I went to that location,
And I filled out an application.
Then I met Heather and Mohammed.
It feels so good to be wanted.
And now, I work at the 7-Eleven.
Got hired by this chick named Heather.
She's got dreadlocks and a pierced tongue
And so life's good at the 7-Eleven
Slows down usually after seven.
I smoke cigarettes and read a book.
And then you walked in the 7-Eleven
Birds flew like it was Heaven
True love was caught on video tape
and I didn't know how much more I could take
Because my palms would sweat, my chest would ache
Because hearts are made to love and then break,
at the 7-Eleven.
And I won't pretend to know the answers
If you don't pretend to know the score.
I'll just pretend that I'm a sailor
And you're a siren on the shore.
I could be dancing on the ceiling
And you could be bouncing off the walls
Next to the Chili Cheese Fritos
and all of the cheese balls, the cheese balls!
Now I work at the 7-Eleven
Smoked up with Mohammed and Heather
True love was caught on video tape
and I didn't know how much more I could take
Because my palms would sweat, my chest would ache
Because hearts are made to love and then break,
But Heather says I'm gettin' me a 401k
And then two weeks of vacation pay
And then when I take them I'll be going away
But then I'll be back on Monday,
At the 7-Eleven.
