Wine In A Coffee Cup

(album: Hellbent - 2019)

Alarm clock rings, same old thing
6:35, same routine
All dolled up and ready on the road by 8
Does her makeup on the way, she's never been late

Nobody at work has any idea
How much she's hurting when she walks in
She hides it so well, you'd never know what's going on
Self-medication all day long

There's wine in her coffee cup
That's her undercover pick me up
She runs the show from 9 to 5
Her Hollywood smile is just a big disguise
It's the oldest known remedy
To hide in from reality
Every taste and all messed up
From a wine in a coffee cup

Every afternoon on the way home
Stops at the liquor store all alone
Gets whatever it takes for her to stay numb
And she pours another when the morning comes

There's wine in her coffee cup
That's her undercover pick me up
She runs the show from 9 to 5
Her Hollywood smile is just a big disguise
It's the oldest known remedy
To hide in from reality
Every taste and all messed up
From a wine in a coffee cup

Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay
Pinot, mix it all, go away

Wine in her coffee cup
That's her undercover pick me up
She runs the show from 9 to 5
But her Hollywood smile is just a big disguise
It's the oldest known remedy
To hide in from reality
Every taste and all messed up
From a wine in a coffee cup
Wine in a coffee cup
