09 No More Bread - Cosmic Lament
[Verse 1]
The bag is empty, the shelf is bare
Echoes of a sandwich that was never there
The mayo waits in silent despair
While the mustard screams, this is not fair
[Verse 2 ]
I opened the breadbox at half past three
To find no bread, there for me
The pickles breathe a sigh of despair
The limburger cheese wafts sadly in the midnight air
[Chorus]
There is no bread
The sandwich dream is dead
It’s what we dread
There is no bread
Wasting away in the hunger of a long day
Wishing for bread for a sandwich right now
Praying for someone to bake us a loaf of rye
Or a baguette that will get us high
No more bread, sandwich is dead
All hope is gone, the crust is gone
The dark side of the sandwich has won
SO HUNGRY, is there a piece in the trash?
Maybe in the freezer, a forgotten stash?
Anything, rolls, a bit of rye or white
Stuck in the NO-carb line tonight
[Final section]
And everything under the sun is turning black
The sun is eclipsed by an empty bread bag, on its back
There is no bread
The dream of a sandwich is dead
The thing I dread
There is no bread…
…anymore
