The Grand Fatigue

As I count the calories
I start to feel the grand fatigue
All in vain goes down the drain
Inside my brain the grand fatigue

In my sleep only food on my mind
In my dreams only food I can find
Behind the wheel I long to heal
The grand fatigue

Breakfast brunch and lunch and dinner
Every stone of you a sinner
Is it chocolate, is it bacon?
Every inch of you a fake

For lasagna you've been waiting
Over pasta contemplating
Set your mind on decorating
Of a schwarzwald cake

When we meet you're hardly there
The dry eyes, the falling hair
In the mirror, in the mirror that's not you

As I count the calories
I start to feel the grand fatigue
All in vain goes down the drain
Inside my brain the grand fatigue

In my sleep only food on my mind
In my dreams only food I can find
Behind the wheel I long to heal
The grand fatigue

What's the beef you eat with candy?
Does the Camembert come handy?
Pouring gravy on a piglet
Peking duck away you take

What's inside that stuffed tomato?
Cream and cheese on baked potato
Set your mind on cutting slices
From a schwarzwald cake

Where's the friend who I once knew?
Share the pain you're going through
In the mirror, in the mirror that's not you

As I count the calories
I start to feel the grand fatigue
All in vain goes down the drain
Inside my brain the grand fatigue

In my sleep only food on my mind
In my dreams only food I can find
Behind the wheel I long to heal
The grand fatigue

When we meet you're hardly there
The dry eyes, the falling hair
In the mirror, in the mirror that's not you

As I count the calories
I start to feel the grand fatigue
All in vain goes down the drain
Inside my brain the grand fatigue

In my sleep only food on my mind
In my dreams only food I can find
Behind the wheel I long to heal
The grand fatigue
