Twilight Pickle

This is the midnight snack version of "Twilight Zone" by Golden Earring.

Somewhere in a quiet kitchen
There's a guy starting to realize
That his midnight snack has got it's grip on him
It's two A.M.
It's two A.M.  (It's two A.M.)
The hunger's on  (Hunger's on)
And that refrigerator's open  (Refrigerator)
The gumbo's all gone  (The gumbo's all gone)
I weigh my selection; it's time to make a sandwich
I got butter on my fingers
Bread crumbs over there
Slices of the roast beef
And pepper in the air
Yearning a ghirkin
When my whole night spins into a frenzy
Help, I'm gripping onto a kaiser roll
Pickles almost out, seems I'm needing more
My buttery hands blunder and "ooh", I snarl
How am I to open that cold pickle jar
Soon you will have no more
When the pickles hit the floor
Soon you will have no more
When the pickles hit the floor
They're falling down in slow-mo
Destination the floor
These are not condiments
Anymore
Can't get no connection
Can't grip too
What to do?
Well the night weighs heavy on his hungry mind
This jar's full of picklebrine
When the pickles fall
He knows darn well he has to clean it
And he says, help, I'm gripping onto a kaiser roll
Pickles almost out, seems I'm needing more
My buttery hands blunder and "ooh", I snarl
How am I to open that cold pickle jar?
Soon you will have no more
When the pickles hit the floor
Soon you will have no more
When the pickles hit the floor
When the pickles hit the floor
