Tom & Mary

Tom & Mary - Ben Folds Five

Written by：Ben Folds

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
