Ideal World

Jeannie 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 this silence Late night TV vicodin 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 better off Why can't she be what she was before In an ideal world He would still think I'm pretty In an ideal world He would only want to bed with me And in the morning we could lie in In an ideal world You could make a decision In an ideal world You'd be making a home for me And in the morning we could lie in Sunday mornings we could lie in
