Eleanor of Aspartame Lyrics

Eleanor of Aspartame, can you pass the sugar?

Oh the loneliness of another day, sleeping with the TV on

Eleanor of Aspartame, your cup could be much fuller

As if you didn't know about the volume change from pouring it all down the drain

Your plan is only so revealing

Like ships pass in the dark, we're bound to miss the mark

Oh it's second best to keep repeating

But how honest, how sweet, how profound it is

How honest, how sweet, how profound

The trouble is there's always such a hidden double meaning

When all I want is to be lifted up by a simple polysaccharide

Like a bit of petrichor, the air could be much clearer

But a spray can shakes and the dustbin waits for another day's work

Your blueprint has left out the ceiling

Like ships pass in the dark, we're bound to miss the mark

Oh it's second best to dip your feet in

But how honest, how sweet, how profound it is

How honest, how sweet, how profound

I've never seen you like this before

The artificial sweetener is leaking out every pore

And spilling out on the floor

But how honest, how sweet, how profound it seems

How honest, how sweet, how profound
