Why would you do that? Why would you do that? Why would you leave us for a song You know that we need you and we hardly see you You've already been gone too long We sleep with one eye waiting for you 'Til eyes close front door stumbling through You should know better now but you go anyhow Could you have stayed home tonight Should you have stayed home tonight Please just stay home tonight I love you from a distance my green bottled mistress It may be the only constant A common law marriage, a spirited carriage Momentum, moss and time spent lost St. Mary's calling from down the street I feel warm chaos beckoning me If by dawn I'm not here I've bedded down under stairs Should have stayed home tonight Would have stayed home tonight Won't you stay home tonight
