just to ease my pout--
a pint of ice cream before bed,
sweet dreams to settle my head
But hunger pains gnaw.
fast food drive-thru after midnight--
dreams of you shatter my might
throwing my belt on the highway
my pants are screaming, "may day!"
The hunger pains still gnaw.
in the oven, set on bake
hot chicken wings sizzle in the fryer
new pants, a size up in the dryer
Still, the hunger pains gnaw.
now a heart knows a thing or two
about gnawing pain of rue--
it is swift and sly
makin' up lies
That hunger pains need to be fed.
