Mine is a big pink house
With you knocking on the door
With a self-righteous preacher going in
But it's just an old flame
I never want him again
And again and again

I did it, I kept my pride
I didn't listen, I looked up to you

I call you on the phone
But you tell me you're not home
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
So I never wanna see you again
I'm wrecking my future carefully
But I'm keeping your dinner warm

At the Soho market on a Sunday
Here's what I put in your collection basket
In front of the congregation
I stood up and called your name
When I walked out, you just shook my hand
