[00:04.96]
[00:05.73]The husband or wife
[00:07.80]Who's crazy
[00:08.77]
[00:09.56]To live their whole life
[00:11.55]Believing that somehow
[00:13.43]Things aren't as bizarre as they are
[00:16.93]
[00:18.85]Who's crazy
[00:20.56]The one who can't cope
[00:22.95]Or maybe the one who'll still hope

[00:32.67]
[00:34.27]And I was
[00:36.46]A wild twenty-five
[00:38.12]And I loved
[00:40.12]A wife so alive
[00:42.07]But now I believe I would settle
[00:45.05]For one who can drive
[00:48.72]
[00:49.94]The round blue ones with food
[00:51.54]But not with the oblong

[01:25.24]
[01:26.14]I know his name
[01:30.60]And though he will
[01:31.91]Never hold me
[01:34.51]He'll always take my calls
[01:37.68]
