Ben Folds Lost In The Supermarket Lyrics

Lost In The Supermarket Lyrics

I'm all lost in the supermarket

I can no longer shop happily

I came in here for the special offer

Guaranteed personality



I wasn't born so much as I fell out

Nobody seemed to notice me

We had a hedge back home in the suburbs

Over which I never could see



I heard the people who lived on the ceiling

Scream and fight, most scarily

Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling

That's how it's been all around me



I'm all lost in the supermarket

I can no longer shop happily

I came in here for that special offer

A guaranteed personality



I'm all tuned in, I see all the programs

I save coupons from packets of tea

I've got my giant hit discotheque album

I empty a bottle, I feel a bit free



The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls

Make me noises for company

Long distance callers make long distance calls

And the silence makes me lonely



I'm all lost in the supermarket

I can no longer shop happily

I came in here for the special offer

A guaranteed personality



And it's not here

It disappeared



I'm all lost in the supermarket

I can no longer shop happily

I came in here for the special offer

Guaranteed personality
