“Wisteria Lane”
Pigid fences, painted smiles
Read the lyrics
Pigid fences, painted smiles
Coffee brewing, sunlit ties Every window, every door
We wave our love, we play it cool
Break our heart, we break a rule
Down on wisteria lane Weather wave is high, good pain We're perfect, we're pretending
Love and trouble, never ending
On wisteria lane
We will never be the same
Weather wave, we survive it every time
Sunday dinner's hidden keys
Secrets whisper through the trees
Lipstick red and lawns so green
Nothing's ever what it seems
We smile so sweet
Nobody knows what we're living for
Down on wisteria lane
Weather wave is high, good pain
We're perfect, we're pretending
Love and trouble, never ending
On wisteria lane
We will never be the same
Beyond the curtains, beyond the pride
We're sisters holding on for the ride
Through every storm, through every game
We'll always find our way back home again
Down on wisteria lane
Weather wave is high, good pain
We're perfect, we're pretending
Love and trouble, never ending
On wisteria lane We will never be the same
Weather lane, we survive it every time
