I used to point and laugh and shake my head
Took for granted how you kept me fed
We sure weren't sold, you were damaged and old
"There's charm in the squalor", that's what we were told
Never let you rest, and never would've guessed
There was beauty in you

Now I'm sitting at a table where I used to be yours
Your devoted patron, how I paced these floors
Your walls are repainted, neon sign less faded
But I'm still poking fun
At the residue from when you were the one

You know how I made you no excuses
Opened wounds and darkened your old bruises
Although we weren't fans, you cradled us in your hands
Let you fall victim to corporate plans
Never let you rest, and never would've guessed
There was beauty in you

Now I'm sitting at a table where I used to be yours
Your devoted patron, how I paced these floors
Your ceiling is re-tiled, it leaked for a long while
And I'm still poking fun
At the damage done from when you were the one

And I can still hear his voice
He always worked the weekends
When I stopped by
He smiled and asked, "The usual?"
But I would change my order every time
Hey, if nothing else
I was a devoted patron (But nothing could save them)

Now I'm sitting at a table where I used to be yours
Your devoted patron, how I paced these floors
Light fixtures are fancy
And the music's more dance-y
And the curtains don't let in the sun
Like it was bright in my face when you were the one

Now I'm sitting at a table, hey hey hey
Your devoted patron, hey hey hey
Your devoted patron
You were mine

And I can still hear his voice
He used to go to high school down the street
(Got right out of dodge, I see)
He smiled and asked, "The usual?"
I tipped him so much it was just obscene 
Hey, if nothing else
I was a devoted patron (Memories given and taken)
  
Now I'm sitting at a table where I used to be yours
Your devoted patron, how I paced these floors
Your walls are repainted, neon sign less faded
But I'm still poking fun
At the residue from when you were the one
