As the seconds are ticking in the corner of her eye
|
Nothing comes as fast as a glib reply
|
Like a kid who's tired of a busted old toy
|
The pleasure's worn thin so she makes a little extra noise
|
|
So the dime store greaser and the blonde Mona Lisa
|
Twist on smiles just to please each other
|
Until one of them finds that someone new
|
Well the other one is just going to have to do
|
|
Sometimes you get what you want
|
So be careful what you ask for
|
Remember what you got
|
Tossing her pennies in the wishing well
|
Mona Lisa reaches over for the sleeping pills
|
|
Solo
|
|
Like a jerk that butts into the front of the line
|
She's got her reasons and he don't mind
|
Absence is supposed to make the heart grow fonder
|
He's hoping her vacation lasts a little bit longer
|
|
And they both have their tickets for the promised land
|
Still they don't appreciate what they have
|
They can't see what's right in front of their eyes
|
They've been looking so long they finally went blind
|
And they lost what was right in front
|
of their eyes
