lyrics

Sally went and lost her head, every hour drags her down so deep
Though she spends all day in bed she cannot sleep
Tears in her eyes

Alvin stumbles home at dawn when the gutter doesn't claim him first
He fears he will be dying soon but not of thirst

Sally is still awake, surely there's been a mistake
In the wee hours, she haunted by strains of
A mediocre wedding band

Under a mirrored ball, they began their long fall
A tune by the BeeGees, one by Chicago
A mediocre wedding band

Casio and blaring sax rattling the chandeliers
Tambourine and Fender Rhodes usher in a veil of tears

Dearly beloved, why are we gathered here today?
Speak now, or forever hold your peace.

There were some lovely wedding gifts, Uncle Billy's an Italian clock
Torturing poor Sally with each measured tick
And every tock

Its tempo brings her nightmare back to that evening when her dreams were dashed
By eleven she and Alvin were both smashed

Sweating in tulle and a tux
Rented for 200 bucks
She'd wanted a d.j., but he went and hired
A mediocre wedding band
