And the fight dies in the would-be groom And the coals cool down in the ruby room We don charcoal suits and join the ma** All link an arm with the sad clown cast And salute the ones who have loved and lost It's like bedding down in a fishbowl Single car versus telephone pole We don charcoal suits and join the ma** All link an arm with the sad clown cast And salute the ones who have loved and lost Put up "have you seen this woman" posters Collect watermarks in place of coasters And coast along the grey road to the box
