Milk and Peppers

If you don't like it I don't want it
Could you put your head on my chest
So I can get some rest
And if you like we can change it
It took several days to prepare
In the end who cares

The mother of invention shakes her head at me
Eyes water from poor choices they will not set you free
How you lie to yourself, I'll never believe
How you lie

We share a smile as we climb
To what I can't afford
Up there on the forty third floor
We eat food we'll never taste
With faces so numb and that second phone call
Tomorrow is undone

The mother of invention shakes her head at me
Eyes water from poor choices they will not set you free
How you lie to yourself, I'll never believe
How you lie

I must confess
I don't mind that I'll lose
But as you raise your dress
I find I'm unconsumed

The mother of invention shakes her head at me
Eyes water from poor choices they will not set you free
How you lie to yourself, I'll never believe
How you lie
