Once upon a time now I woke and found Letitia gone 
She left no note on the table, she only left the tv on 
I ran to the door but she'd nailed it shut from outside 
My fingers scratched the wood and cried 
I ran to the window and bellowed something outloud 
Oh, Letitia why? Why? 

Tell me if I tire you 
Tell me when you leave your world behind 
Tell me why I admire you 
With my suburban trees and spangled sunshine 

Put away ruby lights now, come on in and take me down 
Pay no mind the neighbors, go ahead and put Sinatra on 
You're runnin' rampant through this head of mine all day long 
Let's put all talk of touch aside 
With your promises as vacant as this job of mine 
Oh, Letitia why? Why? 

Tell me if I tire you 
Tell me when you leave your world behind 
Tell me why I admire you 
With my suburban trees and spangled sunshine 
My spangled sunshine, my spangled sunshine 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la... 

Stand alone as I do now, messy colored memories fade 
Gripping time inside the fable, 
those steamy nights seem so far away 
But every now and then I see you in the city, flush your rap on some pathetic guy 
You know his wallet's fatter than the car I drive 
Oh, Letitia why? Why? 

Tell me if I tire you 
Tell me when you leave your world behind 
Tell me why I admire you 
Tell me when you leave your world behind 
Tell me if I tire you 
Tell me when you leave your world behind 
Tell me why I admire you 
With my suburban trees and spangled sunshine
