Now I'm alone, still dreaming of paradise, still saying that paradise once nearly was mine

Especially people who care about strangers, who care about evil and social injustice. Do you only care about the bleeding crowd?

All I have to do is pretend I never knew him, on those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart

Oh, you never know what's around the bend, you could win the lotto or make a friend

How lovely to have a figure that's round instead of flat. Whenever you hear boys whistle, you're what they're whistling at

In my ivory tower life was just a hostess snack, but now I've tasted chocolate and I'm never going back

I did not live until today. How can I live when we are parted? Tomorrow you'll be worlds away, and yet with you my world has started

Chimps are going ape, giraffes remain above it all. Elephants remember, though just what I can't recall

About to crack, defenses breaking. Won't somebody please have a heart? Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart

And you play 'til it's perfect, you play 'til you ache. You play 'til the strings or your fingernails break

You are here like a mystery. I'm from a world that's so different from all that you are. How in the light of one night did we come so far?

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. Let me lead you from your solitude. Say you need me with you here, beside you. Anywhere you go let me go too.

So that's five miso soup, four seaweed salad, three soy burger dinners, two tofu dog platters and one pasta with meatless balls

One question haunts and hurts, too much, too much to mention. Was I really seeking good, or just seeking attention?

Come on something, come on in, don't be shy, meet a guy, pull up a chair. The air is humming and something great is coming.
