[Verse 1]

You may as well keep your belly full

For the time may come when you’ll rely

On the layer of fat that separates you

From the rabid dog and the common fly

To a less demanding place on your spine

I feel you shift my weight around

I squirm and coil beneath your flesh

Just like the guy you met in town


[Verse 2]

He’s yelling at the parking lot

Throwing beer cans down the stairs


[Verse 3]

Driving home to Mom and Dad

To spend a weekend with no cares


[Instrumental Break]


[Outro]

Avir harim tzalul kayayin, v'reiach o-ranim

Nisa b'ruach ha-arbayim im kol pa-a-monim

Uv t-ardeimat ilan va-even sh'vuya ba-chaloma

Ha-ir asher badad yoshevet (uv-liba choma)

Y'rushalayim shel zahav

V'shel n'choshet v'shel or

Halo l'chol shi-rayich ani kinor
