tell me tuesday where s my silver fork
      i have nt seen it since you left last week
      did you keep it in your cellophane purse
      i d like to have it back sometime

      the tele told me in his sleep
      about the box of whispers that you keep
      
      you don t know what you ve cost me now
      four hundred tide pools caught in the clouds

      well tell me tuesday you won t need to lie
      mister teacup swears you took it in
      i won t believe him no you ve been so kind lately
      but i can t ignore him when my ship keeps sinking

      the table told me late last night
      you walked right past me when i shut the light

      you don t know what you ve cost me now
      five hundred rain clouds trapped in the tide

      tell me tuesday where s my silver fork
      i haven t seen it since you left last week
      tell me tuesday where s my silver spoon
      and then i ll let you go

      you don t know what you ve cost me now
      sixteen phones and a mayonaise jar
      three cigarettes and one thousand guitars

      you don t know what you know don t know
      you don t know what you ve cost me now



      tuesday
