Todd Rundgren
Marriage Made in Heaven
[Verse 1]
I heard the news and I disagreed
I forecast the fogginess
I turned around quick to see who you would be
And you were nothing to me but my dramatist
Maybe it was clumsy of me to admit everything to you
You were the loot, my fast getaway and I was also your loot
But I was lifting up letters and trying to stand on them too
To make a marriage made in heaven you gotta be in heaven

[Verse 2]
I don't care if he sings like Caruso
When the band is loose and the hours get late
When the festival has been on so long, no
Caruso forgets to celebrate
And the lock clicks open on an ancient dream
Oh replaces your understanding of everything
Oh angel have you hardened wings
To make a marriage made in heaven you gotta be in heaven

[Verse 3]
Your free vacation's a fantasy
This is trial by the tribal claw
You crippled us both on purpose, can't you see?
And that's why I'm for casting fog
There's a crowd down by the stream praying to the Lord for some
I hope they're praying for a little more than disposable income
And cradles clinging to their children
To make a marriage made in heaven you gotta be in heaven
[Verse 4]
So blind will run in widening circles
Short of sight and long of power
Small moments of satisfaction
Kindling every flawed hour
And not one hour goes unfilled
And the edges of your constant amazement wilt
Well that weight can bow bad bridge to built
And that marriage made in heaven takes the midnight plane to heaven

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
Just back from a mission through five sleeping jungles
You know sometimes my guides got pretty damn wild
So I wasn't prepared to be so suddenly humbled
By this heart-rendering rendition of your shiny sense of child
So we knew a passing moment and there was nothing wrong
Only without this sudden remembrance would I have lasted this long
Oh and now I only ever see the pieces that are gone
