Favorite Food

[Verse 1:] 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 [Hook:] Cause your knees are scratched and your eyes are black Put a plaster there and I'll sign your cast [Verse 2:] 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 [Hook:] Cause your knees are scratched and your eyes are black Put a plaster there and I'll sign your cast [Verse 3:] 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 in another day And your favorite food still taste the same [Hook:] Cause your knees are scratched and your eyes are black Put a plaster there and I'll sign your cast When the best and the brightest, turn the television on Have your seatbelts strapped and your helmets on
