Lyrics

Once upon a time now I woke and found Letitia gone
She left no note on the table, she only left the tv on
I ran to the door but she'd nailed it shut from outside
My fingers scratched the wood and cried
I ran to the window and bellowed something outloud
Oh, Leticia why? Why?

Tell me if I tire you
Tell me when you leave your world behind
Tell me why I admire you
With my suburban trees and spangled sunshine

Put away ruby lights now, come on in and take me down
Pay no mind the neighbors, go ahead and put Sinatra on
You're runnin' rampant through this head of mine all day long
Let's put all talk of touch aside
With your promises as vacant as this job of mine
Oh, Leticia why? Why?

Tell me if I tire you
Tell me when you leave your world behind
Tell me why I admire you
With my suburban trees and spangled sunshine
My spangled sunshine, my spangled sunshine

La, la, la, la, la, la, la...

Stand alone as I do now, messy colored memories fade
Gripping time inside the fable,
those steamy nights seem so far away
But every now and then I see you in the city, flush your rap on some pathetic guy
You know his wallet's fatter than the car I drive
Oh, Leticia why? Why?

Tell me if I tire you
Tell me when you leave your world behind
Tell me why I admire you
Tell me when you leave your world behind
Tell me if I tire you
Tell me when you leave your world behind
Tell me why I admire you
With my suburban trees and spangled sunshine
