Lyrics for I Write Sins Not Tragedies

Oh, well imagine As I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor And I can't help but to hear No, I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words "What a beautiful wedding" What a beautiful wedding," says a bridesmaid to a waiter And yes, but what a shame What a shame the poor groom's bride is a whore I chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of Closing a goddamn door?" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things With a sense of poise and rationality I chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of Closing a goddamn door?" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things With a sense of... Oh, well in fact Well, I'll look at it this way I mean technically, our marriage is saved Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne Oh, well in fact Well, I'll look at it this way I mean, technically, our marriage is saved Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne I chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of Closing a goddamn door?" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things With a sense of poise and rationality I chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of Closing a goddamn door?" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things With a sense of poise and rationality Again... I chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of Closing a goddamn door?" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things With a sense of poise and rationality I chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of Closing a goddamn door?" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things With a sense of poise and rationality Again...
