Trophy Wife

歌詞

(August 21st, 1953) Let me set the scene! The table's set with the silver cutlery The crystal's out for the champagne, chardonnay To celebrate the anniversary of nine years ago When he came back home Please, come in and take a seat (You're all on cue, the party's just beginning) He's right inside, our proud marine! (Man of the hour, reason that we've all convened) Let me propose a toast To husband, and to father: Brave; he gave us hope His absence tortured me Can just imagine all the evil that he has seen I watch him while he dreams He stays asleep through the sweats and the screams It's haunting him, so it's haunting me So I take my perfect smile, and just let it be The table's set with the silver cutlery The crystal's out for the champagne, chardonnay To celebrate the anniversary of nine years ago When he came back home And now when he leaves on business trips and the meetings It makes me feel sick and incomplete Our boy needed his father home I was on my own, disunited home His charming smile, its hypnotic pleasantry Either that, or maybe too much wine Tingles up my spine and makes my body weak Intoxicating, I'm feeling jaded Overjoyed, I know it shows I hope they all can see Preeminence in this life we lead Captivated by the love that we share I hope they all can see! The table's set with the silver cutlery The crystal's out for the champagne, chardonnay To celebrate the anniversary of nine years ago When he came back home And now when he leaves on business trips and the meetings It makes me feel sick and incomplete Our boy needed his father home I was on my own, disunited home Intoxicating I'm feeling jaded, overjoyed Dumb and giddy, and a little dizzy The room is spinning and it's making me Feel faint, faded Fall to the floor, make a scene With all the eyes in the room I sure hope that no one can see
