Verse 1

He can’t

Live up

To the size of his shoes

Uncle John mumbles

Real men where boots

Fight in wars

Settle old scores

So that peace will rain

Down on main

And another parade

Gives way

To the Amazon van

On it’s way

To the front doors

Of America

 

Verse 2

Staring into her eyes

He thinks this is when

Grown men cry

Standing toe to toe

Touching nose to nose

He would do anything

She wanted him to

Right now

Send a dozen red roses

Diamonds on a ring

Write an opera about

Old wounds closing

And broken hearts fixing

Themselves

Enough to function

Highly enough to get

Us through the next

Twenty years


Pre-Chorus 

Life can be so disappointing

But only if you let it

Oxidize

And you didn’t even notice

When she pulled the wool

Over your eyes

 

Chorus

She starts talking carpet

And paint

Everything he is

Thinks he ain’t what he ain’t

She wrapped him

Right around her fingers

Make sure he falls

Hook, line and sinker

 

M8

Father said

Romance is dead

A grown man

Thinks with his head

And he puts a raincoat

On when it rains

But the wind blows

For reasons unknown

Things happens for reasons

And this life has shown

Ain't nothing really that

Strange, anymore
