Rice & Beans

On the doorstep
That leads out onto your patio
I tripped upon your bags
So this is how
You let me know

There's a cab arriving
And the driver, she avoids my gaze
"Can you lend me 30 dollars?
For a few days - until I get paid?"

I'm living on rice and beans
I dreamt that I fell asleep
Danny Bonaduce, smiles along
I think that's little Richard
In a fans world
The pop stars all get along

It took exactly 37
Minutes to pick up your phone
Yeah, I heard it ringin'
But it was better than being alone

Now the summer's empty
They've all gone and moved away
I wish I could find that light pole
That we wrote upon
You and me forever
And ever
And ever
And ever
And ever
I'm living on rice and beans
I dreamt that I fell asleep
Danny Bonaduce, smiles along
Yeah, I know this sounds familiar
But it won't kill ya
And the cicadas sing along

You're askin' me, a lot of questions
About some people I don't know

I'm living on rice and beans
I dreamt that I fell asleep
Danny Bonaduce, smiles along
Yeah, I know this sounds familiar
But it won't kill ya
And the barflies sing along
