On Thursday, a Twitter user shared a video of the "Summertime Sadness" singer working a shift in a Florence, Alabama Waffle House, and it makes me wonder — why, girl?

In the video, you can see Lana was clearly working behind the counter in the familiar blue Waffle House uniform.

She even had her own name tag!

It's possible Lana's second job was connected to her new song "Paris, Texas," which includes the lyrics, "I took a train to Spain, just a notebook in my hand/Then I went to see some friends of mine, down in Florence, Alabama."

The new song is featured on her most recent album, Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd which was released on March 24 of this year.

Well, there you have it! Maybe we can expect Syrup on Top of My Waffles to be her next album.
