Tom & Mary
Lyrics
For the benefit of Tom and Mary before our guests arrive
If they haven't found out already it's gonna blow their minds
Will they find the strength to find the will to testify
That for the benefit of Tom and Mary

Everybody here knows the story some with fabricated extra parts
Will they find the strength to find the will to testify
If they haven't found out already it's gonna blow their minds
Everyone's pretending not to hear them knocking at the door
Put a damper on the party it will lighten up this room
If they haven't found out already it's gonna blow their minds
But for the benefit of Tom and Mary, we've got to see the truth today
For the benefit of Tom and Mary we gotta let the truth be known
There's something we can't hide anymore?
If you could could hear a pin drop on the carpet floor
See the sisters shout in whispers feeding hot air to the sparks
For the benefit of Tom and Mary before our guests arrive
And all the chatter and the smiles, they come undone
