Jeanie marries when she"s 21,
She has a baby one year on
And every year that"s the way that life goes
Lost herself in domesticity
A cleaning, feeding entity
She can"t recall what she was before
In an ideal world kids would keep their rooms tidy
In an ideal world he"d be home from his work on time
And in the morning I could lie in
Johnny signs his share of autographs
For all the people he makes laugh
And he walks home to an empty flat
Does his best to fight the silence
Late night TV vicodens
He can"t forget what he had before
In an ideal world she would still think I"m funny
In an ideal world she"d be waiting in bed for me
And in the morning we could lie in
In an ideal world
Molly"s sitting in a waiting room
The top doctor will see her soon
In the body nature gave her
Worried if she"ll ever wake up
Wondering if she"s bett
