"Eyes Too Big For My Belly" lyrics

"Eyes Too Big For My Belly"

I think I've bitten off more than a fool can chew
I burned the midnight oil and the candles too
Got my shoulder to the wheel, bones for a hand
Are my eyes too big for my belly, man?

Cooking with gas, my heart's aflame
She's rocking my rook in this chessboard game
It's true, she's like a cactus in the sun

She blinks gypsy eyes with a lizard's tongue
Caravan of love, the fair comes around in June
She's always got me on the run, yeah

Ding dong, mirror-bell
Who's gonna ride your carousel?

I think I've bitten off more than a fool can chew
I burned the midnight oil and the candles too
Got my shoulder to the wheel, bones for a hand
Are my eyes too big for my belly, man?

I'm in and out of style like a pin-stripe suit
I look a little taller in a Chelsea boot than shoes
And I drink wine to unwind

Up and down like a robber's dog
I looked at your pictures through the bathtub fog
Your nudes burned a hole right in my mind

Ding dong, mirror-bell
Who's gonna ride your carousel?

I think I've bitten off more than a fool can chew
I burned the midnight oil and the candles too
Got my shoulder to the wheel, bones for a hand
Are my eyes too big for my belly, man? Yeah

I think I've bitten off more than a fool can chew
I burned the midnight oil and the candles too
Got my shoulder to the wheel, bones for a hand
Are my eyes too big for my belly, man?
