It was a big Boston wedding with much panache and style In a sea of pink dresses, flash cubes and fake smiles The cake was so sweet, the champagne so strong Not a single soul noticed you were emotionally gone Beside a mountain of presents the band blew off some steam The men wrecked the car with beer cans and whipped cream You didn't need no rehearsal to look just like yo belong Pretendin' only comes natural, when you're emotionally gone Lay your big brown eyes on that flyin' bouquet Darlin' who wouldn't want to be bride for a day And who wouldn't want a friend who knows they are There was no way to tell, he'd never take you that far The clean-up crew came and went in less than an hour They rolled up the tent filled the trach bag with flowers Now there's a thank you card floatin' towards the great beyond Nobody knows where to reach you when you're emotionally gone You're emotionally gone
