Let me tell you
Bout a
Friend of mine
He's a
Short order cook
He's long on speed
And he's
Short on spice
He reads his
Customers
Like a book
He's seen this
And he's done that
And now he's makin'
Fried eggs an art
But there's ah
One thing he
Can't fix no how
There's a
Longing in
His heart
He's tried for
Years to
Work it out
At the grill and
At his home
Well he talks to
His friends
He talks to
Himself
He talks the
Chicken right
Off a bone
Talks to his
Woman and
She understands
You know they're
Always eye to eye
She runs the joint
They live out back
Small house
Under a big sky
Well even the stars
At night agree
That the sky is
Fallin' apart
She knows
Cause she can
Feel it too
There is a
Longing
In her heart
A longing
In her heart
Longing
In her heart
Well you and me
We're just like them
We never wanted
To be alone
So we made
A pact
Sealed with desire
For a happier
House and home
Only to find
It doesn't
Untie the knot
Where feelings die
Well there's
A longing
Deep inside
Our hearts
And no one
To tell us why
Well our friends
Ain't looking for
Anything new
You know they
Wouldn't know
Where to look
Well her
She likes
Running the joint
You know
That he likes
Being a cook
Together they're
Doing very well
You know they're
Mighty glad
They could
But there's a fire
Burning
Towards them now
Coming from
A distant wood
Well even the stars
At night agree
That the sky is
Falling apart
We know
Cause we can
Feel it too
Cause there's a
Longing
In our hearts
Longing
In our hearts
Longing
In our hearts..
