66 Promises

[Verse 1]
Sixty six promises
Fell from your lips
Sixty six kisses to
Rest on my charred fingertips
And sixty six lovers
To come till I tell
Sixty six positions to take on this
Well-worn trail
Sixty six magicians
Deliver the goods
Documenting our marriage for some
Silent film in Hollywood

[Chorus 1]
Is it not what you thought it would be?
Was it not what you wanted it to be
Was I not what you thought I would be?
Was it not what you wanted it to be?

[Verse 2]
Sixty mouths talking
But making no sense
Of life and of liberty
And the pursuit of happiness
Waiting for something
To smash a few holes
In the wall of good fortune
And the windows to an outer world
And sixty six promises
They came in a kiss
Provided a meaning
Now I see how it really is

[Chorus 2]
And it's not what I thought it would be
And it's not what I wanted it to be
And it's not what I thought it would be
And it's not what I wanted it to be
