lyrics

When you bite a cookie, you want to feel "Yes!
I am having success! I am having the sex!"
But sex is not sweets, with sex you know when you're done
Sweets you eat and eat and sweet satisfaction never comes

Eating when full
Eating for taste
When the cabinet is full,
Eating to clear out space
Eating out of obligation
Eating for something to do
I did it all for the pleasure of food

Trying to get a fix
Cannot scratch the itch
Instant gratification
Spend my appetite something quick
Decisions made by force of habit
The sugar stole my meal
I did it all for the pleasure of food

Compulsive eating
Portion control
Throwing out good food
Letting it grow mold
Going shopping hungry
Decisions made by packaging
I did it all for the pleasure of food

Maniacal determination to finish the plate
Forcing it down is still going to waste
Allergic to tupperware, won't dirty a dish
But i've only got one stomach and that's all that it can fit

I tried to get high on food, i tried to get my fix
It didn't work too well, didn't work one bit
Eating as procrastination, eating for something to do
I did it all for the pleasure of food

I tried sex, I did it 'til it hurts
I tried sleep, sleeping 'til my whole body burns

I tried sleep, until my whole body burns
I tried sex, until I ran out of sperm
Now i've set my sights and appetites on food
I'll get satisfaction if I must eat my way through
