Edith Wharton knows where it's at

Sledging toward the Varnum's and Count Olenska

Beat beat my heart like a baseball bat

Newland walks back alone to his hotel

Find yourself somebody to love

Try to find somebody who'll love you back

Don't keep your heart with a lock or a key

Put all your trust in me

Someone's gonna get hurt tonight

Someone's gonna get hurt tonight

My life's not much like a novel

I can't find somebody that's worth real sacrifice

Beat beat my heart as much as I might

If God is an author Wharton is a better one

I believe in love but not every day

Find yourself somebody to love

Try to find somebody who'll love you back

Don't keep your heart with a lock or a key

Put all your trust in me

Someone's gonna get hurt tonight

Someone's gonna get hurt tonight

My life's not much like a novel

It's hard to see the beauty in it

Sometimes I long for plot or structure

The sense of order fiction brings

Someone's gonna get hurt tonight

Someone's gonna get hurt tonight

Someone's gonna get hurt tonight
