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 

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 

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
