Tom & Mary

Artists : Ben Folds Five : Tom & Mary

For the benefit of Tom and Mary
Before our guests arrive
If they haven't found out already
It's gonna blow all thier minds
Will they find the strength to find
The will to testify
That 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 hot air to the sparks
Put a damper on the party
It will lighten up the room
For the benefit of Tom and Mary
They've got to see the truth today

Ms Power's son says here they come
And all the chatter and the smiles, they come undone
And you could here a pin drop on the carpet floor
Everyone's pretending not to hear the 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 all of their minds
And yet the seams all seem to show
That for the benefit of Tom and Mary
