The Grand Fatigue
As I count the calories
I start to feel the grand fatigue
All in vain goes down the drain
Inside my brain the grand fatigue
In my sleep only food on my mind
In my dreams only food I can find
Behind the wheel I long to heal
The grand fatigue
Breakfast brunch and lunch and dinner
Every stone of you a sinner
Is it chocolate, is it bacon?
Every inch of you a fake
For lasagna you've been waiting
Over pasta contemplating
Set your mind on decorating
Of a schwarzwald cake
When we meet you're hardly there
The dry eyes, the falling hair
In the mirror, in the mirror that's not you
As I count the calories
I start to feel the grand fatigue
All in vain goes down the drain
Inside my brain the grand fatigue
In my sleep only food on my mind
In my dreams only food I can find
Behind the wheel I long to heal
The grand fatigue
What's the beef you eat with candy?
Does the Camembert come handy?
Pouring gravy on a piglet
Peking duck away you take
What's inside that stuffed tomato?
Cream and cheese on baked potato
Set your mind on cutting slices
From a schwarzwald cake
Where's the friend who I once knew?
In the mirror, in the mirror that's not you
As I count the calories
I start to feel the grand fatigue
All in vain goes down the drain
Inside my brain the grand fatigue
In my sleep only food on my mind
In my dreams only food I can find
Behind the wheel I long to heal
The grand fatigue
When we meet you're hardly there
The dry eyes, the falling hair
In the mirror, in the mirror that's not you
As I count the calories
I start to feel the grand fatigue
All in vain goes down the drain
Inside my brain the grand fatigue
In my sleep only food on my mind
In my dreams only food I can find
Behind the wheel I long to heal
The grand fatigue
