Favourite Food

With a heart attack on your plate You were looking back on your days How you spent them all in a blur When they asked if you were for sure Let the sugar melt down your throat 'Cause you know it's sweet getting old With a lollipop and a rose Let the hospital be your home 'Cause your knees are scratched and your eyes are black Put a plaster there and I'll sign your cast In the liner notes at the end Some familiar names in tiny print On the cover page of the year Grainy photographs, greasy hair But it's noon o' clock and you're still asleep And your coffee's cold, your coffee's icy 'Cause your knees are scratched and your eyes are black Put a plaster there and I'll sign your cast 'Cause facts are facts Classic Hollywood as a kid With the volume up all the way Now you do the same, and you're right Things are better in black and white But there's another girl and another day And your favorite foods still taste the same 'Cause your knees are scratched and your eyes are black Put a plaster there and I'll sign your cast We're the best and the brightest, turn the televisions on Have your seat belts strapped and your helmets on
