Pale Compromises

Commentary:
My brain had been threatening me with the writing of this song-- easily the most ridiculous that I have written for quite some time. I really hope this is a satire, but sometimes I'm not sure!

Lyrics:

You’re my barista baby

Can I call on you sometime?

You’re my barista baby

Can I call on you sometime?

I got a no-foam, iced double caffe’ macchiato

Runnin circles in my mind

Barista baby your so lovely

Darling you could make me weep!

Barista baby your so lovely

I said you could make me weep!
Don’t give me no more of your coffee,

Cause I can’t hardly sleep!

Fix me one more frappucino

Babe I got to go away

Give me one more frappucino

Cause I got to go away

I got to get up and work in the morning

But I’ll bring you all of my pay.

Barista babe you hypnotize me

Like the starlit sky above

Barista babe you hypnotize me

Like the starlit sky above

You know what I really need babe?

Is a venti-sized cup of your love!

I know that you’ve got many others

Who love your pumpkin spice

Babe I know there’s many others

Who love your pumpkin spice

I’m addicted to you baby

I need your love at any price.

Barista babe we’re all so lonesome

The ones who stand in line

Barista babe we’re all so lonesome

The ones who stand in line

We pay for coffee everyday girl

Just to buy ourselves some time.

Barista babe I think I love you

Cause I see you every day

Barista babe I think I love you

Cause I see you every day

And I never talk to strangers

But I always need a chai latte.
