This song is called "Please don't talk about murder while I'm eating"
ย
You're the first one to get there
But you're always the last one to leave
You're the first one to chuckle
But the last one to grieve
I know all too well
The world takes a daily beating
But please don't talk about
Murder while I'm eating
ย
You walk into the temple
And you call it a church
I try to keep things simple
But you always need the works
Your life is marked
By numbers and symbols
Excessive drinking from
Out of golden thimbles
Just a moment of silence I'm needing
So please don't talk about
Murder while I'm eating
Let's not talk about
Murder while I'm eating
ย
You get all hot and bothered
At the strangest times and places
But you don't notice the looks on
All the other faces
You're dressed for summer
In the middle of December
What you've all but forgotten
I painfully remember
And I don't care in the least what you're reading
Please don't talk about
Murder while I'm eating
Let's not talk about
Murder
