I eat dinner at the kitchen table
By the light that switches on
I eat leftovers with mash potatoes
No more candlelight, no more romance
No more small talk when the hunger's gone

I eat dinner at the kitchen table
And I wash it down with pop
I eat leftovers with mash potatoes
No more candlelight, no more romance
No more small talk when the hunger stops

Never thought that I'd end up this way
I who loved the sparks
Never thought my hair'd be turning to gray
It used to be so dark, so dark

No more candlelight, no more romance
No more small talk when the hunger's gone
No more candlelight, no more romance
No more small talk when the hunger's gone
When the hunger's gone

Never thought that I'd end up like this
I who loved the light
Never thought I'd be without a kiss
No one to turn off the light
Turn off the light

I eat dinner at the kitchen table
By the light, the tv screen
I eat leftovers with mash potatoes
No more candlelight, no more romance
No more small talk when the plate is clean
When the hunger's gone

When the hunger's gone
