Read Time:1 Minute, 22 Second

ANGEL
New York City-
MARK
Uh Huh

ANGEL

COLLINS
Sing It Girl-

ANGEL
Times Are Shitty
But Im Pretty Sure They Cant Get Worse

MARK
I Hear That

ANGEL
Its A Comfort To Know
When Youre Singing The Hit The Road Blues
That Anywhere Else You Could Possibly Go
After New York Would Be A Pleasure
Cruise

COLLINS
Now Youre Talking

Well, Im Thwarted By A Metaphysic
Puzzle
And Im Sick Of Grading Papers-That I
Know
And Im Shouting In My Sleep, I Need A Muzzle
All This Misery Pays No Salary, So
Lets Open Up A Restaurant In Santa Fe
Oh Sunny Santa Fe Would Be Nice
Well Open Up A Restaurant In Santa Fe
And Leave This To The Roaches And Mice

Oh–Oh

ALL
Oh–

ANGEL
You Teach?

COLLINS
Ya – I Teach Computer Age Philosophy

while My Students Would Rather Watch TV

ANGEL
America

ALL
America!

COLLINS
Youre A Sensitive Aesthete
Brush The Sauce Onto The Meat
You Could Make The Menu Sparkle
With Rhyme
You Could Drum A Gentle Drum
I Could Seat Guests As They Come
Chatting Not About Heidegger, But Wine!

Lets Open Up A Restaurant In Santa Fe
Our Labors Would Reap Financial Gain

ALL
Gain, Gain, Gain

COLLINS
Well Open Up A Restaurant In Santa Fe
And Save From Devastation Our Brains

HOMELESS
Save Our Brains

ALL
Well Pack Up All Our Junk And Fly
So Far Away
Devote Ourselves To Projects That Sell
Well Open Up A Restaurant In Santa Fe
Forget This Cold Bohemian Hell
Oh–
Oh–

COLLINS
Do You Know The Way To Santa Fe?
You Know, Tumbleweeds…Prairie Dogs…

All
Yeah
