lyrics

(cereal)

My sister says it's morbid and she may be right
She keeps hers in a box beneath the stairs
I eat my breakfast off the ones that Momma saved
For forty years of company that never came

Cereal (cereal)
I eat my cereal
Off the good plates, cereal
Cereal

Cereal, cereal, cereal, cereal
On the plates she saved for something better
Cereal, cereal, cereal, cereal
There was never gonna be a better day than this

(key change up)
I broke one. In October. Dropped it in the sink.
I sat down on the kitchen floor and howled for twenty minutes.
Then I swept it up. And used another one. That's the whole thing.

Cereal, cereal, cereal, cereal
On the plates she saved for something better
Cereal, cereal, cereal, cereal
There was never gonna be a better day than this

(cereal...)
