The Dandy of Suburbia

from The Amorous Adventures of Edward Japan by Eddie Japan

/

lyrics

I do my best work in the aisles
of the local Home Depot
I came in here looking for something
but I ended up leaving with someone new
In the middle of the afternoon
All over town
You know they come around, they come
they really like my style

I wear the clothes of a man
at least ten years younger
I’m coming off like some phony
dandy of suburbia
in the middle of the afternoon
Bed Bath and Beyond
Married, single or divorced
they really like my style

Oooh, let the tears flow
Oooh, let the tears flow

I’m not really sure
when they started calling me Eddie
I was just a regular man
now I’m escorting women
In the middle of the afternoon
Red Roof Motel
Now I’m in demand
ever since she threw me out

Oooh, let the tears flow
Oooh, let the tears flow

Help me, cause I’m falling
falling in love or falling apart
I don’t know
Tell me, ‘cause I hear you
is this more than an afternoon score
I gotta know

At night they go home
and curl up with their husbands
And I go back to the empty
of my one-room apartment
Maybe she thinks of me
or maybe she stinks of me…

Maybe some day they’ll find me
ejected from the vehicle
or maybe I’ll rise up
with the fangs of a viper
it’s all or nothing for me
there’s never any in between
Singing do you want me
do you want me do you want me now

Oooh, just let the tears flow
Oooh. just let the tears flow…
