Danielle Ate The Sandwich - The Terrible Dinner Guest lyrics

A closet coat's hung safe in quieter places The chicken was silent in its cooking glazes My tongue was heavy and hiding in the back of its cage I'm scavenging cabinets to make conversation Looking under couch cushions for sophistication I thought I had taste but I don't even know what time it is [Chorus] Ooh, I've got soul, I've got soul But you'd never know, never know If you were stuck across the table from me The terrible dinner guest Well, I am a middle school boy at the sock hop I'm clinging to walls to avoid any small talk I'm only here with my hair combed because my mother made me The words crossing tables were soft and engaging But I couldn't quite rouse myself to the occasion Put a note on my list to learn more talking points about organic gardening [Chorus] Ooh, I've got soul, I've got soul But you'd never know, never know If you were stuck across the table from me The terrible dinner guest Oh, if I could only understand All your literary references I'd be spinning tables around the room Only I could think one thing to prove Ooh, I've got soul, I've got soul, I've got soul But you'd never know, never know, never know Stuck across the table from me, 'cross the table I'm the terrible dinner guest, dinner guest [Chorus] Ooh, I've got soul, I've got soul But you'd never know, never know If you were stuck across the table from me The terrible dinner guest So, quiet, I curled on the couch with my blankets After making a vow for a life's worth of silence I'm trading my voice in for land legs just like a mermaid [Chorus] Ooh, I've got soul, I've got soul But you'd never know, never know If you were stuck across the table from me The terrible dinner guest
