lyrics

Tuesday
Came two seconds late
She had come from out of state
She had come by foot and freight
And touche'
There was cold food on her plate
No room for debate
Cynical bridesmaids

Stop 'em at the front door
Cuff 'em to the bed post
Lock 'em in the hoosegow

All the girls back home had grown exponentially wide
With husbands on their sides
Lookin every bit of uptight
And the bride and groom they danced their dance in a beautiful unison
Cake was melting in the sun
Races nearly run
Tuesday haunts reception halls with no room for relief
Lipstick on her teeth
Waves of sudden grief

They're always lookin for the long haul
Bra straps flush against the wall
They're always lookin for the one to come around
And set her down and sort her out
But she draws the short straw, every time
She draws the short straw, every time

Stop 'em at the front door
Cuff 'em to the bedpost
Lock 'em in the hoosegow

Tuesday's going home.
