Tom and Mary Songtext / Lyric

For the benefit of Tom and Mary

before our guests arrive,

if they haven't found out already it's gonna blow their minds

Will we find the strength to find the will to testify

that for the benefit of Tom and Mary

there's something we can't hide any more






Everybody here knows the story

Some have fabricated extra parts

See the sisters shouting whispers,

feeding hot air to the sparks

Put a damper on the party

It will lighten up this room,

for the benefit of Tom and Mary

they've got to see the truth to day



Mrs. Power's son says, "Here they come,"

and all the chatter and the smiles they come undone

And you could hear a pin drop on the carpet floor

Everyone's pretending no to hear them knocking at the door



For the benefit of Tom and Mary

before our guests arrive,

if they haven't found out already

it's gonna blow their minds.

If they haven't found out already

and if the seams all seem to show,

that for the benefit of Tom and Mary,

for the benefit of Tom and Mary,

for the benefit of Tom and Mary

we got to let the truth be known
