lyrics
I was young but I was certain
That a year was long enough, and that she was still a virgin
So I sold some things, and bought a ring while she whispered to her friends
And they were all so happy that she'd found a wholesome man
And sure, we married in a rush
But Jesus Christ said we couldnt touch
Until the state declares us legitimate
so it's off to the taylor to make mamma's dress fit
My smiling bride learned to cry,
As we grew older and learned how to die
And I swallowed all my pride,
As unequally yoked i died, she died, we died
Elizabeth read my palm last week
She told my future, and robbed me of my sleep
She said that we'd be married, and I wept that she was wrong
Because she read your palm too and said that you'd die, you'd die alone (but maybe neither were wrong)
My smiling bride learned to cry,
As we grew older and learned how to die
And I swallowed all my pride,
As unequally yoked i died, she died, we died
I got famous and impatient and signed divorce papers
My wife caught me at the neighbors and signed divorce papers
I got famous and impatient and signed divorce papers
I am coming home, and you had better be alone
Because I am prone to jealousy, and have never taken kindly to being decieved
My smiling bride learned to cry,
As we grew older and learned how to die
And I swallowed all my pride,
As unequally yoked i died, she died, we died
That a year was long enough, and that she was still a virgin
So I sold some things, and bought a ring while she whispered to her friends
And they were all so happy that she'd found a wholesome man
And sure, we married in a rush
But Jesus Christ said we couldnt touch
Until the state declares us legitimate
so it's off to the taylor to make mamma's dress fit
My smiling bride learned to cry,
As we grew older and learned how to die
And I swallowed all my pride,
As unequally yoked i died, she died, we died
Elizabeth read my palm last week
She told my future, and robbed me of my sleep
She said that we'd be married, and I wept that she was wrong
Because she read your palm too and said that you'd die, you'd die alone (but maybe neither were wrong)
My smiling bride learned to cry,
As we grew older and learned how to die
And I swallowed all my pride,
As unequally yoked i died, she died, we died
I got famous and impatient and signed divorce papers
My wife caught me at the neighbors and signed divorce papers
I got famous and impatient and signed divorce papers
I am coming home, and you had better be alone
Because I am prone to jealousy, and have never taken kindly to being decieved
My smiling bride learned to cry,
As we grew older and learned how to die
And I swallowed all my pride,
As unequally yoked i died, she died, we died
