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 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. 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 his 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 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 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!
