The Long Honeymoon Lyrics - Elvis Costello

All the bedroom lights go out as the neighborhood gets quiet 

Everything in heaven and earth is almost right 

But there's a wife who's wondering where her husband could be tonight 

And when the phone rang only once she took a dreadful fright 

Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him 

He was late this time last week 

Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim 

'Cause the baby isn't old enough to speak 

There's been a long honeymoon, she thought too late and spoke too soon 

There's no money back guarantee on future happiness 

There's been a long honeymoon, if he's out on a date then her life's in ruins 

She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this 

All the movies and the papers, feature the murders of lonely women 

If he isn't in by ten she'll call up her best friend 

Why doesn't he come home? Why does her friends phone keep on ringing? 

Maybe she should just pretend
