he met her at a night club,   she couldn't keep the beat   she wore her her grandma's prom dress   wrapping slippers on her feet   he took a shot of something strong to make him feel less weak   and so the story goes...      there's something to be said about    trading stories of when you're eight years old   he had his first stitches when he bit an ice cream bowl   she had her first kiss in a swimming hole   so the story goes...      and the days grew long   and the wine was overflowing   and she knew she was in love   because nobody ever hugged her like that,    hugged her like that   hugged her like that   hugged her like that      they moved into a school bus    just cause it seemed like fun   she'd said i like the way you touch me   it makes me feel like i have no skeleton   and so the story goes...      and I've seen photographs and videotapes   of that decent home, that loving place   and it's about time two minds combine   in such a fine, fine way      and may your lives be long   and may your wishes all be simple   and may your hearts stay strong      tucked in a bed, you see the ghost of your teddy bear   check under the covers just to make sure he's still sleeping there   turn wedding gowns to angel clothes for the baby to wear   turn wedding gowns to angel clothes for the baby to wear   she rides him like the state fair   they make love like two solar flares   and carry like they really care that they're going to make it      must have died in the place where she first said i love you   spread his ashes with the breath of the last kiss that she blew   they decorate when featherless   they celebrate through hungriness   and it's about time two minds combine   in such a fine, fine way      and may your lives be long   and may your wishes all be simple   and may your hearts stay strong      and may your lives be long   and may your wishes all be simple   and may your hearts stay strong
