I Eat Dinner

I eat dinner At the kitchen table By the light That switches on I eat leftovers With mashed potatoes No more candlelight No more romance No more smalltalk When the hunger's gone I eat dinner At the kitchen table And I wash it down with pop I eat leftovers with mashed potatoes No more candlelight No more romance No more smalltalk When the hunger stops When the hunger stops Never thought that I'd end up this way I who loved the sparks Never thought my hair'd be turning gray It used to be so dark So dark No more candlelight No more romance No more smalltalk When the hunger's gone No more candle light No more romance No more smalltalk When the hunger's gone When the hunger's gone Never thought that I'd end up like this I who loved the night Never thought I'd be without a kiss No one to turn off the light Turn off the light I eat dinner At the kitchen table With my daughter Who is thirteen We eat leftovers With mashed potatoes No more candlelight No more romance No more smalltalk When the plate is clean No more candlelight No more romance No more smalltalk When the hunger's gone When the hunger's gone
