lyrics

i’m living in smaller and smaller slivers
of white bread you left out on the counter.
i’ll get to things in the morning—
to my surprise, it was molding.

is that gonna be your lunch today?

i’m waiting for a new kind of money,
one that always comes back to me when i’m hungry—
check the balance twice a day,
then you spend it all away.

you say, “is that gonna be your lunch today?”

well, jesse, i had the time
to think twice.
but now you’re dizzy with a frozen pizza,
blacking out in the checkout line.
did you sum the price of an ambulance ride?
and if i find you in that white room
with the angels by your side,
praying the doctors they find something
or else that you are fine—
and when they slip that IV tube in your arm
you can feel that water move
like the day that you were born.

but is that gonna be your lunch today?
