Household Names Lyrics

Tony fished his wedding ring, out of the kitchen sink

Afterwards Caleb took me dancing

There are things that I should believe but I could never want to know

The accolades of karaoke and the slideshow

Another dissonant diatribe, remained diligent when the pastor was passing by

Then you pressed into my hand, my first xanax

Talking to the sandwich man, "surely she have would have called if she was contemplating suicide

Then mom died, it gets easier as the years have gone awry

It's my birthday, not that you'd remembered but drink my beer anyway

Guess my name. Been coming here for years, shoplifting after church

If it's all the same, spare me the candles, the prayer and place them on my grave

Can I trust you to relay? The messages of tongues and gestures that sit like mildew atop the stage."

But there I stood, without contraptions or tricks

Joked when he spoke of "desecrated debutants" cause it was you and I who really knew the rules of the game

Like a moonman in the glow of candlesticks

Margaret, let's be in Hollywood

Where you and I can finally be household names
