Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet Lyrics

Mr. Sandman showing his beam
When he walks into the room the walls lean in to listen
Surfed out brain waves flick back and forth
Like old headlights sniffing model glue again
Head like a steel trap
Wish I didn't, I didn't, I didn't
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't
I don't just want to be a footnote
In someone else's happiness

Does your husband know the way
That the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?
Does he know the way? Does he know the way
Of the crickets that would convince me to call it a night?

I will never end up like him
Behind my back I already am
Keep a calendar, this way you will always know
The last time you came through
Oh, darling, I know what you're going through
The last time you came through
Oh, darling
Oh, darling
Oh, darling

Tempest in a teacup, get unique
Peroxide princes shine like shark teeth
It's a sign (it's a sign)
It's a sign (it's a sign)
It's a sign, what if you peaked early?

And does your husband know the way
That the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?
Does he know the way? Does he know the way
Of the crickets that would convince me to call it a night?
Does he? Does he know the way I worship our love?

Does your husband know the way
That the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?
But I will never end up like him
Behind my back I already am
Keep a calendar, this way you will always know
The last time you came through
Oh, darling, I know what you're going through
The last time you came through
Oh, darling
Oh, darling
Oh, darling

Oh, does your husband know?
Does your husband know?
Does your husband know?
Does he know? Does he know? does he know? Oh, oh, oh

But I will never end up like him
Behind my back I already am
Keep a calendar, this way you will always know
The last time you came through
Oh, darling, I know what you're going through
The last time you came through
Oh, darling, I know what you're going through

What is the Meaning of Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet?

It's a song about having an affair with someone committed to someone else, although I believe it's all about symbolism, it's the painful theme (not so much as the actual situation, when being experienced) of you being like a dog getting to be fed off someone else's table's crumbs...
