You're the first one to get there

And 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




You walk into the temple and 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 let's not talk about murder while I'm eating


Please don't talk about murder while I'm eating




You get all hot and bothered at the strangest times and places


But 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


I don't care in the least what you're reading




Please don't talk about murder while I'm eating


Please don't talk about murder while I'm eating

Let's not talk about murder while I'm eating
