[Chorus] Every plate is piled with paradise, Still my empty mouth keeps asking twice. Forks collide on the one-and-three, Feast forever, starve beside me. [Verse 1] A silver spoon knows every name, The gravy map repeats the same. I taste the dish I dreamed about, Then dream of what I haven't found. [Pre-Chorus] One more course, the bells insist, One more bite I can't resist. [Chorus] Every plate is piled with paradise, Still my empty mouth keeps asking twice. Forks collide on the one-and-three, Feast forever, starve beside me. [Verse 2] The waiter wheels a newer sun, Its little moons are portioned fun. I praise the chef, I praise the tray, Then mourn the flavor on its way. [Bridge] Count the candles, count the chairs, Count the wishes in the air. When desire gets served as fact, Want becomes the only snack. [Chorus] Every plate is piled with paradise, Still my empty mouth keeps asking twice. Forks collide on the one-and-three, Feast forever, starve beside me. [Outro] Clear the table, bring it back, Hunger wears a paper hat.
