Starfish and Coffee #1 Songtext
von Prince

It was 7: 45 we were all in line
To greet the teacher Miss Cathleen
First was Kevin, then came Lucy, third in line was me
All of us where ordinary compared to Cynthia Rose

She always stood at the back of the line
A smile beneath her nose
Her favorite number was twenty and every single day
If you asked her what she had for breakfast

This is what she′d say
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds and a tangerine

And a side order of ham
If you set your mind free, baby
Maybe you'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam


Cynthia wore the prettiest dress
With different color socks
Sometimes I wondered if the mates were in her lunchbox
Me and Lucy opened it when Cynthia wasn′t around
Lucy cried, I almost died, you know what we found?

Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham

If you set your mind free, honey
Maybe you'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam

Starfish and coffee

Cynthia had a happy face, just like the one she draws
On every wall in every school
But it's all right, it′s for a worthy cause
Go on, Cynthia, keep singin′

Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham


If you set your mind free, baby
Maybe you'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
