The Supermarket Strikes Back

Honey get the kids, honey sort the leeks

Make sure that the barcodes match the receipts

Honey theres a store, a new place in town

Theyre selling new blades for my mower

New blades for my mower

Its funny how it pays, its funny how it works

When you follow the codes from Head Office alerts

I read about a guy, he went walking away

Just walking and turned himself over

He turned himself over

Who tilts their head back and then swallows the pills

And expects to feel alive?

Ive finally found, a new place in town

Theyre selling new blades for my mower

New blades for my mower

And this is the last time

That Ill sit with my mouth wide open

And wait for the flies to come in

From the grave of a grocer

The grave of a grocer

Honey Im awake, honey Im alive

Its funny ha ha when I tickle your sides

My neons above, 24 hour love

My carrots are frozen all over

Theyre frozen all over

Who tilts their head back and then swallows the pills

And expects to feel alive?

Ive finally found, a new place in town

Its funny I thought he looked older

I thought he looked older

And this is the last time

That Ill sit with my mouth wide open

And wait for the flies to come in

From the grave of a grocer

The grave of a grocer

And I try to be a man

And I try to be a man

And I try to see the life inside of me

And I tilt my head back and I swallow the pills

I no longer feel alive

Re-order the rolls, straighten the pies

My prices are starting to lower

Theyre starting to lower

And this is the last time

That Ill sit with my mouth wide open

And wait for the flies to come in

From the grave of a grocer

The grave of a grocer

My place in the sun and my house near the ocean

My place in the sun and my house near the ocean

Is fading away, its fading away

And Ill hand myself over

Ill hand myself over

Im catching you up and Ive picked up your gloves

And Im catching you up and Ive picked up

your gloves

And Im walking your dogs and Im walking

your dogs

And Im catching you up and Ive picked up

your gloves

And Im walking your dogs and Im walking

your dogs

And Im walking your dogs and Im walking

your dogs
