Espresso (All Jacked Up)

We're on the road again

Leavin' our load behind us

Put a new message on the answer phone

That they can't find us

The tickets are in my pocket

The shuttle is right on time

Everyone meets at the departure lounge

Half an hour we leave the ground

Let's go get a hot espresso

Or maybe a cappuccino

Say get me a cafe latte

Make it with lots of chocolate in the middle of it

Let's pull over

I need some magazines

There's an attendant in the ladies room

If you're not squeamish

Which side of the road to drive on?

Here everyone eats so fast

And what was that language that we spoke yesterday?

I made some change so I can pay

To get us some hot espresso

Or maybe a cappuccino

Would you like a cafe latte

Make it with lots of chocolate in the middle of it

Irish coffee

Sweet and sticky

English toffee

Plain and simple

Tea with honey

Top it off with ginseng royal jelly

In the morning it's a bus to Barcelona

Fly a little side trip over to Roma

Then we all meet in Cannes, Nice, and Monaco

Then it's Venice, Munich, London, San Francisco

Then we drive to Sante Fe and Austin

New Orleans, Atlanta, New York, Boston

Philadelphia, Cleveland Ohio

Columbus, Detroit, coffee stop Chicago

Then it's L.A., Honolulu

Sidney, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Katmandu

And at the end of it all if god is willing

We're sipping Turkish coffee in Greenwich Village

I need a hot espresso, I'm all jacked up!

I need a double espresso, I'm all jacked up!

Hot espresso

Fix me a cappuccino

How about a cafe latte

Make it one with lots of chocolate in the middle of it

Gimme one more hot espresso

Have another cappuccino

Fire me up a cafe latte

Sprinkle on that lots of chocolate in the middle of it

Hot espresso, I'm all jacked up!
