[Verse 1]
Well it's coming onto 13 years together, babe
I pray that it’s the luck, a lucky, lucky number
And although I know I've brought you joy and happiness, babe
I’ve also been a fe—, fecund resource for anger
[Chorus]
'Cause it's all a part of the game
Yeah, it’s all a part of the symphony
And I pray that your face is the last I see
On a peaceful afternoon
[Verse 2]
And now that our machine is running at full steam
I pray that nothing shucks a wrench into the matter
But between sex and death and tryin' to keep the kitchen clean
Remember wild roses bloom best in ruins forever after
[Chorus]
'Cause it's all a part of the game
Yeah, it's all a part of the symphony
And I pray that your face is the last I see
On a peaceful afternoon
Leaving the living room
[Non-lyrical Bridge]
[Chorus]
Yeah, it's all a part of the game
Yeah, it's all a part of the symphony
And I pray that your face is the last I see
On a peaceful afternoon
[Chorus]
And just in case you go before me
Rest assured that of this I can guarantee
That my face, that my face is the last you'll see
On a peaceful afternoon
Leaving the living
Living room
