Gravy Train Lyrics

When you were young you were such a ripe tomato,
You'd spend all afternoon peeling my potato,
We'd drive forever in each other's sweet aroma,
We sleep together in each other's food coma,

But I can't take another bite this has got to stop tonight (stop tonight),
I can't take another bite this has got to stop tonight (stop tonight),
I can't take another bite this has got to stop tonight (stop tonight),
You might find it strange when I eat away the pain,
The wheels and the chains are coming off on gravy train tonight,
Tonight (ooooooh),

There's nothing left except the crums if you feed her right,
You ate it all 'cause it was all you could eat at night,
You're checking in to see how everything's tasting,
I like it better except for all the time we're wasting,
My mouth is dry, your mouth is waterin',
The most tender meat is bread for the slaughtering,
The slaughtering,

White flags when the war gets waged,
Because there is no winner only lunch and dinner,
In my place every meals a stage,
Though I decorate sparsely nobody eats parsley,
I'm turning my tables on you,

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Track 10 on Moving Through Security is "Gravy Train". Nothing says how good this album is than "Gravy Train" being at number 10 in the tracklisting. This was supposed to be "that song". For two years, we were like "Dude...Gravy Train!" And then newer and better songs came along. Different interpretations and biorhythms emerged. Mercury went into retrograde. "Gravy Train" may have conceded it's top-dog status, but it's still catchy as all hell. A song about gluttony and sexual confusion, its no wonder the folks at Lysol decided to use it in a recent advert."
