Edith Songtext
von Tellison

Edith Wharton knows where it′s at
Sledging toward the Varnum's
And Count Olenska
Beat beat my heart
Like a baseball bat
Newland walks back
Alone to his hotel

Find yourself somebody to love
Try to find somebody
Who′ll love you back
Don't keep your heart
With a lock or a key
Put all your trust in me

Someone's gonna get hurt tonight
Someone′s gonna get hurt tonight


My life′s not much like a novel
I can't find somebody
That′s worth real sacrifice
Beat beat my heart
As much as I might
If God is an author
Wharton is a better one
I believe in love
But not every day

Find yourself somebody to love
Try to find somebody
Who'll love you back
Don′t keep your heart
With a lock or a key
Put all your trust in me

Someone's gonna get hurt tonight
Someone′s gonna get hurt tonight

My life's not much like a novel
It's hard to see the beauty in it
Sometimes I long for plot or structure
The sense of order fiction brings

Someone′s gonna get hurt tonight
