Paroles de Grapefruit

It's a one-foot-over-the-other Sunday morning And your walking to the grocery for grapefruit The morning chews your heels as if you were standing still They say you can't be slow in this world you've got to speed through Bisect the grapefruit and sprinkle on the sugar Use the good silver and wash it back with coffee Yes, something is missing but you can't put your finger on it But you know you ain't lonely You can thumb your nose at the universe but that won't make you matter You can thumb your nose at matter but that won't make you disappear You can go through the motions with course hands and cold emotions But that won't make it any easier Sucking on the grapefruit ain't it sweet and bitter You can feel the sun looking down and judging you As you picture her on fire burning on some black highway They say you can't be slow in this world you've got to speed through Picture her on fire flaming Christmas on the highway They say you can't be slow in this world you've got to speed through
