Jeanie marries when she's 21,
|
She has a baby one year on
|
And every year that's the way that life goes
|
Lost herself in domesticity
|
A cleaning, feeding entity
|
She can't recall what she was before
|
|
In an ideal world kids would keep their rooms tidy
|
In an ideal world he'd be home from his work on time
|
And in the morning I could lie in
|
|
Johnny signs his share of autographs
|
For all the people he makes laugh
|
And he walks home to an empty flat
|
Does his best to fight the silence
|
Late night TV vicodens
|
He can't forget what he had before
|
|
In an ideal world she would still think I'm funny
|
In an ideal world she'd be waiting in bed for me
|
And in the morning we could lie in
|
In an ideal world
|
|
Molly's sitting in a waiting room
|
The top doctor will see her soon
|
In the body nature gave her
|
Worried if she'll ever wake up
|
Wondering if she's better off
|
Why can't she be what she was before?
|
|
In an ideal world he would still think I'm pretty
|
In an ideal world he would only want bed with me
|
And in the morning we could lie in
|
In an ideal world you would make a decision
|
In an ideal world you'd be making a home for me
|
And in the morning we could lie in
|
Sunday mornings we could lie in
|
|
