Ed's Redeeming Qualities - Bad Supper lyrics

At the bad supper, the bread's a broken mess The hostess keeps on spilling the wine The rib-roast watches with the ghost of a smile I'm too busy in my head and all the mouth language The drunk guy on my right Says he knows why we're eating And knows why we're drinking And gets up to turn out the lights Turn out the lights And the mouth language Busy in my head The kids are eating last year's fruitcake, listening to this talk Grampa's in the hallway, trying to synch his watch with the grandfather clock The drunk guy offers me five monies for my pants He pays me full in orange rinds And says, "You're invisible when my eyes are closed but you're never out of my mind" Out of my mind And the mouth language Busy in my head Turn out the lights And the mouth language Busy in my head Out of my mind And the mouth language Busy in my head So, someone stole my bus fare. It was the last orange, here So, sometime I'll get home Supper's cold, the night is warm
