The Snow White Diner

I am eating hash browns in the snow white diner
Outside cars are honking, flashing lights on the bridge
Theyre pulling a car up from the bottom of the frozen lake
A woman drove her Saturn into the black water
Killed herself and her two kids trapped in the backseat
Shed lost her job and didnt want her kids to be poor
The diner is noisy, black coffee and sugar
Baskets of dinner rolls, outside the crowd is growing
Waiting by the drawbridge, hoping to see the dead womans face
In the booth next to me there are two old women
Eating liver and onions and theyre laughing too loud
And banging the tabletop, but then I see that theyre deaf
I dont know why theyre laughing, maybe the worlds much nicer
If you cant hear the cars
They make me feel better like Im drunk on a plane
And have forgotten that Im afraid to fly
