When Eddie comes home
Off comes his tie and out with an ice cold beer
Someone is crying on the TV
Someone is laughing on the phone
Upstairs the Chinese takeaway man
Keeps chasing the crazy lady around
When Eddie comes home
Checks out his face in the bathroom mirror
He likes the way his eyebrows meet in the middle
He likes the way his mouth curls when he smiles
He likes the way his hand feels like a stranger's
When he runs his fingers through his hair
Eddie go out
Eddie go out tonight
You don't have to sit alone
Night after night
Hey, Eddie break loose
Follow your shoes tonight
You don't have to be the fat boy sitting on the shelf
When Eddie comes home
Millions of people are making love
Chinese takeaway man and the crazy woman
The ear doctor and the eye doctor's wife
Eddie, see, there are lights shining in the city
Maybe someone's waiting for you
Eddie be smart
Follow your heart tonight
You don't have to be the fat boy sitting on the shelf
Eddie break out
Eddie get out tonight
Put on your man's cologne
Take a taxi into town tonight
Hey, Eddie break loose
And come on follow your shoes tonight
You don't have to be the fat boy, one of the thorns each night
You don't have to stay at home
