lyrics

Lipstick stains left on my face
You see to your dismay I had erased
Before I took the train back to civilization
All the way, cursing our situation
Clean off the slate, sweep the rubbish away
They cut out your face
Replace it with a smile

My sweetheart, we’ll stay together till we grow apart
Then we’ll divorce our kids and start anew
Within the lines that we already drew
I guess Father Time forgot to
Clean off the slate, sweep the rubbish away
They cut out your face
But I’m still in denial that

You were the cavity
Buried deep inside everything I knew
It’s the irony that I can’t sleep at night
But I bet you do

You swear you’re not an actor
You just play one on TV
Well if this is what you’re after
Darling, let’s make a scene
