Cafe Vertigo

(Bruce Donnola/BMI)
1998

There's a fine line in between
Joy and misery
And I don't know now
which side I'm on.
It's so luxuriant
To feel this innocent
Sitting here at a table for two
While I'm waiting for you

At the Cafe Vertigo,
The Cafe Vertigo.

We met just yesterday
And now it's Saturday
We said we'd meet at high noon
To get on a coffee jag
And now it's 12:05
If you don't show I'll be awfully blue
Cause I'm waiting for you

At the Cafe Vertigo,
The Cafe Vertigo.

I wrote the name and the street and the time and the day,
I couldn't stand to be stood up again Oh, let luck roll my way.

I know there's cheaper spots
And I know there's hipper ones
But they'll let us sit here
The whole day through
And my head just flipped a beat
Cause I see you coming up the street
Headed here looking so cool
I've been waiting for you

At the Cafe Vertigo,
The Cafe Vertigo.
