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   But please don't talk about murder while I'm eating      You walk into the temple   You call it a church   I tried 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 need      So let's not talk about murder while I'm eating   Please don't 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 others faces      You're dressed for summer   In the middle of December   But you've all but forgotten   I painfully remember      Now I don't care if in the least what you're reading   Please don't talk about murder while I'm eating   Please don't talk about murder while I'm eating   Let's not talk about murder while I'm eating
