Nobody's Listening

He looks like a man, who's passed and returned
As he enters this coffee-shop dungeon
With his usual order, he smiles as he turns
To approach his constant companion

There's a fire in his eyes, as he claims the seat
That's been his since the very first day
I can tell by his look, we're all in for a treat
There's a lot on his mind today

Chorus:
He's talking to his buddy Nobody
And Nobody's listenin'
Nobody can hear him
Nobody's there for him
He's talking to his buddy Nobody...
And Nobody's listening

Other customers smile, and stare for a while
Before finally turning away
I know by their glances, they still want to hear his
Conversation of the day

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I wonder what would happen
If I sat down beside him
I wonder, would he see me?
Would he be insulted
If I interrupted
His time with Nobody?

Repeat chorus
