[Verse 1]
Judy Nathan
Kelly Casan
Sally Timmerman
Anna Kim
Lucinda Prim
Jill and Jenny Sands
Good ol' Lisa
Christ, she seems so
Distant and so sad
Then there's Wendy
Somehow with me
Doesn't matter where I am

[]
Hip preteens
Out in their jeans
Zippered in their bods
From the back
Man, that ass
And that little slip of bra

Oh, my hands
Adjust my pants
In the auditorium
Down the hall
Into the stalls
Where my fingers are all thumbs

[Pre-Chorus]
Christ, it's such a whole, like, deal
Nightly, too unreal
Holding you
You're nowhere near me
And I mean holding, holding

[Chorus]
Through the darkness comes the laughter
'nd all the stars bend over sideways
Oh, my darling, there's a heaven
Such a comet on its way

Through the darkness comes the laughter
All the stars bend over sideways
Oh, my darling, there's a heaven
Such a comet on its way

[Verse 2]
Suzie Mahler
Heather Taylor
Kathy Anderson
Paula White
Barbara Light
Patty Emulson
Ol' Anita
Cannot beat her
With that body
Just too bad
Then there's Wendy
Somehow with me
Doesn't matter where I am

[Pre-Chorus]
Christ it's such a whole, like deal
Nightly, too unreal
Holding you
You're nowhere near me
And I mean holding, holding

[Chorus]
Through the darkness comes the laughter
All the stars bend over sideways
Oh, my darling, there's a heaven
Such a comet on its way

Through the darkness comes the laughter
All the stars bend over sideways
Oh, my darling, there's a heaven
Such a comet on its way
