Mr. Sandman showing his beam When he walks into the room The walls lean in to listen Surf out brain waves Click back and forth like old headlights Sniffing model glue again Head like a steel trap Wish I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I don't Just want to be a footnote in someone else's happiness. Does your husband know the way that The sunshine gleams from your wedding band? Does he know the way to worship I know Of the crickets that would convince me to call it a night? I will never end up like him Behind my back, I already am. Keep a calendar, this way You will always know. The last time you came through, Oh darling, I know what you're going through. The last time you came through, Oh darling, oh darling, oh darling Tempest in a teacup, Get unique. Peroxide Princess shine like shark teeth It's a sign, (it's a sign) It's a sign, (it's a sign) It's a sign, what if you peaked early. Does your husband know the way that The sunshine gleams from your wedding band? Does he know the way, does he know the way Of the crickets that would convince me to call it a night? Does he, does he know the way to worship our love? Does your husband know the way That the sunshine gleams from your wedding band? But, I will never end up like him. Behind my back, I already am. Keep a calendar, this way you will always know. The last time you came through Oh darling, I know what you're going through. The last time you came through, Oh darling, oh darling, oh darling Does your husband know? Does your husband know? Does your husband know? Does he know? Does he know? Does he know? But, I will never end up like him. Behind my back I already am. Keep a calendar, this way you will always know. Oh, the last time you came through, Oh darling, I know what you're going through. Oh, the last time you came through, Oh darling, I know what you're going through.
