Vaping on the Job

hey say Michelle turned in her BFA for a CDL And now she drives that box truck fifty hours a week She don't paint anymore, she misses it for sure But who's got the time? And that taste she got of money sure was sweet Oh, lately she's been wonderin' Did she get real or did she just give up? But she's not the type to whine So she just follows those white lines and keeps her mouth shut But when no one is around She sneaks a little puff and that's enough (That's right) She's vapin' on the job To spice it up and cool it down Forget her pain, forget her place Forget this game, forget this race Forget this town Forget the nightmares in the news Forget these old computer blues Forget the dreams she used to dream that she forgot Oh, forget the boss, she's vapin' on the job While Michelle drives the truck Danny rides a desk chair up in midtown One of those odd jobs that ain't really odd at all He takes his lunch alone While the higher-ups play ping-pong in the background He can't remember when he ever felt this small 'Cause the screenplay that he wrote Ain't causin' the commotion that he hoped Seems like every day's the same old joke But Danny's found a special way to cope When he sneaks out to the stairs And puts that pen up to his lips and gives it a kiss (And it sounds like this) He's vapin' on the job To spice it up and cool it down Forget his pain, forget his place Forget this game, forget this race Forget this town Forget the nightmares in the news Forget these old computer blues Forget the dreams he used to dream that he forgot Oh, forget the boss, he's vapin' on the job Oh, Danny meets Michelle At a bar in Queens where Deena is the barkeep She pours them both a water and a beer "Oh, Deena, what a week it's been," Says Danny as Michelle draws on her napkin Deena fakes a smile and pretends to care 'Cause her spirit's on the bottom shelf And in her heart, she's carryin' a stone Since the person that she thought she'd maybe Could've loved turned out to be a ghost So she steps out for some air But Danny and Michelle know where she's goin' (Where she's goin') She's vapin' on the job To spice it up and cool it down Forget her pain, forget her place Forget this game, forget this race Forget this town Forget the nightmares in the news Forget these old computer blues Forget the dreams she used to dream that she forgot Oh, forget the boss, she's vapin' on the job
