Trophy Wife

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 9 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 a husband and a father

Brave, he gave us hope

His absence tortured me

Can just imagine all the evil hat he has see

I watch him while he dreams

He stays asleep through the sweats and the screams

It's haunting him, so it's haunting me

I'll just 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 9 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 is father home

I was on my own

Disunited home

His charming smile it's hypnotic pleasantry

Either that or maybe too much wine

Tingles up my spine and makes my body weak

Intoxicating

In 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 9 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 is father home

I was on my own

Disunited home

Intoxicating

I'm feeling jaded, overjoyed

Dumb and gritty, 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!
