lyrics

I did some business with a guy named Danny
I was pickin' the stuff up when he told me
About his co-worker, over a cigarette,
(Well, only he was smokin', but anyway)

She used to work two jobs
The one that he worked at and a bar
She'd always come in a little late
'Cause the bar gig ended pretty late
Now she doesn't need to burn the candle at both ends-
She got 1 good job:
Workin' for the city
Earnin' a better salary, gettin' a lotta benefits
Like compensated dentist
She's even got paid vacation

Lisa's got a new job

Now she and Danny don't talk so much anymore
Since her employment rearrangement
And isn't that a funny thing life does?-
You can spend every second with somebody
And then suddenly they're gone
Like it never happened
Sometimes they get a drink or two, now and again,
But it's never the same

Lisa's scalin' those subway stairs
Simultaneous with the sunrise
Cutting out your own corner of the world
Can't speak for Dan but I know you'll be alright, girl

Lisa's got a new job
