lyrics

Davey and Arthur went to Macy's
They talked about women and their lives.
Their hearts were ready for solitude,
But Frantic were their lives.
So they started the Wives.

Davey and Arthur took the rest of them
On the voyage of their lives.
Nothing could stop them now
As they travelled up to the sky.
They started the Wives.

Johny said, "Where you going guys?"
Davey and Arthur knew the time (was right).
"We're going down to Timbuktu now,
Where our sound can resonate to Heaven."
