Eating Myself Up Alive Lyrics by Original Cast of A New Brain, William Finn

A New Brain (Original Cast Recording)

1995

[RICH]
\nI’m eating myself up alive
\nLearning to drink, biting my finger
\nEat, eat, eat, eat, eating myself up alive
\nI’m eating myself up alive
\nMemories stink, memories linger
\nEat, eat, eat, eat, eating myself up alive
\n
\n[ENSEMBLE]
\nOh…
\n
\n[RICH]
\nWhere the hell’s my sense of humor?
\nWhere the hell’s my drive?
\n
\n[ENSEMBLE]
\nAh, ah
\n
\n[RICH]
\nWatching TV, tossing in bed
\nEating myself up alive
\n
\n[ENSEMBLE]
\nEating myself up
\n
\n[RICH]
\nTell me thе truth, was it something I said?
\nEating and, eating and
\nEating myself up alivе!

\nEating myself up
\n
\n[RICH]
\nIt’s awful to always be nice
\nSometimes I fail
\nSometimes I’m stinky
\nEat, eat, eat, eat, eating myself up alive!
\nHey! Come on now!
\nI’m paying a horrible price
\nBiting the nail off of my pinky
\nEat, eat, eat, eat, eating myself up alive
\n
\n[ENSEMBLE]
\nOh…
\n
\n[RICH]
\nIf I’ve lost my sense of humor
\nHow will I survive?
\n
\n[ENSEMBLE]
\nAh, ah
\nGrinding my teeth, throwing a fit
\nEating myself up alive
\n
\n[ENSEMBLE]
\nEating myself up
\n
\n[RICH]
\nIs there a food we adore more than chocolate?
\nEating and, eating and
\nEating myself up alive
