  • This is a verse about a man who dared
    To fall head over heels for a woman who shared
    Similar interests, similar looks
    Similar taste in similar books
    Lost in the riddle of her Southernish eyes
    Paint-on lips and French knee highs
    The world was telling him love is dead
    But he's turning that logic on its head

    Marry on
    Marry on and you will know
    Marry on

    This is a verse about a woman who dared
    To fall head first for her young au pair
    Middle-class values and normalcy
    To her that was so last century
    She wooed her with Ritalin and drugged me high
    Egon Schiele prints and French fries
    The kind of story made for the stage
    The kind of story just jumps of the page
    I tell you

    Marry on
    Marry on and you will know
    Marry on

    Marry on, children
    But be aware, the world doesn't want you anymore

    I know you like to refute all I say
    I know you like to refute all I say
    I know you like to refute
    All that I have shared today
