She spent the money on a loaf of Wonderbread

And a can of Beefaroni Italian food today

What does he think when he pours himself a drink and he looks at me that way?

He spent a fortune on the labor and the parts

Got to keep it running another year or two

What does she say every time I drive away in her dad's old Subaru?

Household appliances

All rent to own

No telephone

Debts unpaid left up to fate are heavy on the head

Can't let each other know, and so nothing's said

But that's a cop out when you break it all apart

And analyze the pieces, the bottom line is truth

What in the world makes a happy boy and girl buy their old age with their youth?

Harsh words from relatives

They won't leave us alone

Why pay the telephone?

At any rate, there is no fate, except someday they'll be dead

And who will tell them each what was never said?

And now she's nervous as he's coming up the drive

He's afraid to tell her how short their money goes these days

Who gives a damn about a woman and a man

Who are sure that neither understands

Why they look and act that way?
