Ebenezer, what have you done
You're not the only one to ever give a damn before
You tried to please her to save you own soul
But you have dug a hole deeper than you care to know
So take it slow
Fantasize about the way she lies and show her your face
With the mark of her dignity shaped like a hand
It's not the way you planned it to be
But I'd like you all to see the way my baby smiles
Such a lady, always controlled
You never see her painting pictures on the bathroom door
Like a baby, dressed up and sold
They knocked her up with a needle and some alcohol
And she took it all
Fantasize about the way she lies and show her your face
With the mark of her dignity shaped like a hand
It's not the way you planned it to be
But I'd like you all to see the way my baby smiles
The papers couldn't cover up
The photo of her lover up in Brighton
Quite close to Shangri-la
A stone's throw from holiday, she smiled
And the picture was beguiling
All the while, she loved to show
She takes it slow
Fantasize about the way she lies and show her your face
With the mark of her dignity shaped like a hand
It's not the way you planned it to be
It's not the way you wanted to see it
It's not the way you planned it to be
But I'd like you all to see the way my baby smiles
