Trophy Wife Famous Last Words

[Intro]
(August 21st, 1953)
Let's set the scene!

[Chorus]
The table's set with the silver cutlery
The crystal's out for the champagne, chardonnay
To celebrate the anniversary of nine years ago
When he came back home

[Verse 1]
Please, come in and take a seat
You're all on cue, the party's just beginning
He's right inside, our proud marine
Man of the hour, reason that we've all convened
Let me propose a toast
To husband, and to father
Brave, he gave us hope
His absence tortured me
Can just imagine all the evil that he has seen
I watch him while he dreams
He stays asleep through the sweats and the screams
It's haunting him, so it's haunting me
So I take my perfect smile, and just let it be

[Chorus]
The table's set with the silver cutlery
The crystal's out for the champagne, chardonnay
To celebrate the anniversary of nine years ago
When he came back home
And now when he leaves on business trips and the meetings
It makes me feel sick and incomplete
Our boy needed his father home
I was on my own, disunited home
