Between Lust and Watching TV

The life that I’m seeking

Is not in this bar where I’m sitting

Where the one that I’m married to is knitting

Feeling it go to my head

But it ain’t back at home where she’s putting in curlers

And rollers and dressing for bed

The blonde in the corner who’s winking

Who’s devoted her life to dumb thinking

And somewhere it’s waiting for me

And I know that it must be somewhere

Between lust and sitting home watching TV

Somewhere between Playboy magazine

And next Tuesday night’s PTA

Somewhere between a honky tonk queen

And what all the dog did today

If a wife and a lover could be one and the same

What a beautiful world this would be

And there would be us somewhere between lust

And sitting home watching TV

But a man can’t exist just on bread

Is the one thing that I ain’t being fed

Walking through town tempting me

And a body could rust on a diet of lust

And sitting home watching TV

Somewhere between Playboy magazine

And next Tuesday night’s PTA

Somewhere between a honky tonk queen

And what all the dog did today

If a wife and a lover could be one and the same

What a beautiful world this would be

And there would be us somewhere between lust

And sitting home watching TV
