Starfish & coffee

Starfish & coffee                                                               
(Original version by Prince)
It was 7:45, we were all in line, waiting for Miss Kathleen
First was Kevin, then came Lucy, third in line was me
All of us were ordinary compared to Cynthia Rose
She always stood at the back of the line with a smile beneath her nose
Favorite number was 20 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
A butter-scotch cloud and a tangerine, side order of ham
If you set your mind free, baby, maybe you’ll understand
Cynthia wore the prettiest dress and different colored socks
Sometimes I wondered if the mates were in her lunchbox
Me and Lucy opened it up when Cynthia wasn’t around
Lucy cried, I almost died, you know what we found?
Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam
A butter-scotch cloud and a tangerine, side order of ham
If you set your mind free, baby, maybe you’ll understand
Cynthia wore a happy face
Just like the one she’d drawn
In every school, on every wall
But it’s alright, it’s for a worthy cause
Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam
A butter-scotch cloud and a tangerine, side order of ham
If you set your mind free, baby, maybe you’ll understand
