Tom And 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
And for the benefit of Tom and Mary
There's
something we can't hide anymore

Everybody here knows the story
Some
have fabricated extra parts
See the sisters shouting whispers
Feeding
heartache to the sparks
Put a damper on the party
It'll lighten up this
room
And for the benefit of Tom and Mary
They've got to see the truth
today

Miss Powersson says, "here they come"
And all the chatter and
the smiles have come undone
And you could here a pin drop on the carpet
floor
Everyone's pretending not to hear them knocking at the door

For
the benefit of Tom and Mary
Before our guests arrive
If they haven't found
out already
It's gonna blow their minds
If they haven't found out
already
And all the seams all seem to show
And for the benefit of Tom and
Mary
For the benefit of Tom and Mary
For the benefit of Tom and Mary
We
gotta let the truth be known
