Neon sign flickers outside the door
Quarter past twelve on a tuesday floor
Coffee's been brewing since nine pm
Same old faces, different problems again
Waitress knows everybody's name
Pour another cup, wash away the pain
Truckers counting miles they've got left to drive
Night shift workers trying to stay alive
Welcome to the midnight diner
Where the lost souls gather round
Every story gets much finer
When the sun ain't coming down
Pass the salt and pass the secrets
In this twenty four hour town
Midnight diner, midnight diner
Where the broken can be found
Booth number three, she's been crying again
Divorce papers signed with a ballpoint pen
College kid studying for his final exam
Dreaming of a future, got a ten year plan
Old man jerry talks about the war
Pie and coffee, nothing fancy for sure
But everybody's welcome when the world gets cold
In this little place where stories unfold
Welcome to the midnight diner
Where the lost souls gather round
Every story gets much finer
When the sun ain't coming down
Pass the salt and pass the secrets
In this twenty four hour town
Midnight diner, midnight diner
Where the broken can be found
Cook's been flipping burgers since nineteen eighty five
Seen a thousand dreamers barely staying alive
Some move on to better things
Some keep coming back
But everybody needs a place
When life's thrown off track
Welcome to the midnight diner
Where the lost souls gather round
Every story gets much finer
When the sun ain't coming down
Pass the salt and pass the secrets
In this twenty four hour town
Midnight diner, midnight diner
Where the broken can be found
Midnight diner, midnight diner
Where your heart can come unwound
