Break Room Sundae

He clocks in smiling with a carton in his hand;

At the

Home Depot, he's got a secret plan;

Breakfast, lunch and dinner, he just can't say no;

Mountain, little mountain, where the orange aprons go;

He sneaks to the break room, shuts the door behind;

While the pain awaits and the pages ring in kind;

The supervisor's callin' but he lets it slide;

He's chasin' every spoonful like a sugar high ride;

Oh, he's livin' on a break room

Sunday dream;

Vanilla in the morning, strawberry in between;

45 minute pause and then he dips away;

Leavin' cold workers stranded in the pain out all day;

Oh, he's livin′ on a break room

Sunday dream;

And it never seems to hear the pages scream;

His shorts got little traces of a hurry midnight run;

Down the halls of the restroom, cryin' out for fun;

The freezer hung like heaven when he's feelin' low;

He says, one more scoop, then he's movin' kinda slow;

He sneaks through the break room, shuts the door behind;

While the supervisor's voice gets thinner every time;

The crew keeps on coverin' what he leaves undone;

But he's got a paper cup and he's already one gone;

Always livin' on a break room, Sunday dream;

Vanilla in the mornin', strawberry in between;

Forty-five minute pause, as many trips away;

Leavin' coworkers stranded in the pain all day;

Always livin' on a back room, Sunday dream;

And he never seems to hit the pages clean;

Maybe one day he'll trade the spoon for a broom;

Maybe one day he'll come out of that room;

But tonight he's in the freezer singing sweet and slow;

With a cherry on top and nowhere else to go;

Always livin' on a brain on Sunday dream;

Vanilla in the morning, strawberry in between;

Forty-five minute pauses, then he drifts away;

Even co-workers send it in the pain;

Now all day old, he's livin' on a break room

Sunday dream;

Hey, never cease to hear the pages scream;

So if you need him, don't look too far;

Follow the trail to the ice cream bar;

He'll be back;

After one more school;

Always living on a big old Sunday green;
