Gravy Train

Length: 2:48

When you were younger you were such a ripe tomato
You spent all afternoon peeling my potato
We’d drive forever in each other’s sweet aroma
We spent forever in each other’s food coma

But I can’t take another bite
This has got to stop tonight
I can’t take another bite
This has got to stop tonight
I can’t take another bite
This has got to stop tonight
You might find it strange when I eat away the pain
The wheels and the chains are coming off our gravy train tonight
Tonight

There’s nothing left ‘cept the crumbs that you feed right
You ate it all ’cause it was All You Can Eat night
You’re checking in to see how everything’s tasting
I like it better ‘cept for all the time we’re wasting
My mouth is dry, your mouth is watering
The most tender meat is bread for the slaughtering
The slaughtering

But I can’t take another bite
This has got to stop tonight
I can’t take another bite
This has got to stop tonight
I can’t take another bite
This has got to stop tonight
You might find it strange when I eat away the pain
The wheels and the chains are coming off our gravy train tonight
Tonight

White flags when the war gets waged
Because there is no winner
Only lunch and dinner
At my place every meal’s a stage
Though I decorate sparsely nobody eats parsely
I’m turning my tables on you
