TIME - Naked Dinner lyrics

rate me

It's two in the morning he's sitting in the diner

Waitress stressed out with raccoon eyeliner

He's dunking pound cakes in black coffee

The cook is sick on your food he's coughing

The voices in his head won't stop talking

Humans aren't pretty on the inside, they're just blood and guts

Most of them are roaches the rest are just nuts

The cities full of police, bums and sluts

You could count the days by the dishes in the sink

His motel sheets and the sky are pink

It used to be kaleidoscope now it's periscope eyes

It used to be Lucy now it's pollution in the sky

Welcome to Interzone, home of misery

I say hello to the man in the mirror that isn't me

He waited half a cigarette, left the tip in his pocket

He's lost his mind, paranoia's in the cockpit

I grabbed a toothpick on my way out

I brushed off the doubt and I started to shout

Why'd I come into this diner with the low down blues?

Why'd I come to this diner when I was looking for you?

I walk to my grave where the worms wait to greet me

I sit naked I'm the dinner, eat me

The worms eat the worms we all get devoured

The dinner is naked and the truth is sour

Naked Dinner, guns and alarm clocks

Naked Dinner, the truth is a long shot

When you come to dinner come fully naked

It's just a body it's nothing sacred

This is for the wood that discovered it was a violin

This is for the man who got 2 new bracelets and the right for silence

I think this bodies running out of mileage

You could tell by the way I blink these concrete eyelids

As another crooked cop ignores a crime

A melancholy baby dies from an overdose of time

The mugwamps are fighting in the diner

It used to be red, white and blue

Now it's rubies, diamonds and sapphires

Gold brick street, that's the path of a liar

The fork in the road gave my motivation a flat tire

As another monk takes a bath in fire

We all pile the excuses higher

The cops have electronic eyes

That weigh your food and luggage

I love it I'll put no drug above it

We don't care no more so fuck it

The freeway is a river of tin and steel

Full of unhappy people, waiting for happy meals

Yeah naked dinner

I walk to my grave where the worms wait to greet me

I sit naked I'm the dinner, eat me

The worms eat the worms we all get devoured

The dinner is naked and the truth is sour

Naked Dinner, guns and alarm clocks

Naked Dinner, the truth is a long shot

When you come to dinner come fully naked

It's just a body it's nothing sacred

Here comes dr. Benway straight out the S.O.A.

He's got the Guantanamo skills

Got so much medication, he's playing dominos with pills

Cigarette holes in his bathrobe, coffee stains on the floor

He fills your cup with black water and asks if you want more

Tio Sam, don't give a damn

About no union or working man

What they call justice, I call a joke

They exhale the lies and disappear behind the tea smoke

Give me 6 hours to chop down a tree

I'll spend 4 sharpening my ax

But what do you do when lies become facts

Relax Gandhi, never attacked

Relax King, never attacked

Relax Chavez, never attacked

Relax Diana Nash, never attacked

Relax J, never attacked

I'm naked at the table staring at an empty plate

We both wait and we call it fate

The greys all wait and they call it fate

When the truth hits the plate like naked dinner

I walk to my grave where the worms wait to greet me

I sit naked I'm the dinner, eat me

The worms eat the worms we all get devoured

The dinner is naked and the truth is sour

Naked Dinner, guns and alarm clocks

Naked Dinner, the truth is a long shot

When you come to dinner come fully naked

It's just a body it's nothing sacred
