Song Lyrics

He would know her when he saw her
He only had to match the girl to his vision
He even would know the things she would like
The way they always do on television
Today his dream was realized
But not the girl he visualized

She appeared to him like a ghost
Molecules in mist that were softly luminescent
She made him aware of what his years on earth had made him
An adult adolescent
She was an intricate collage
He was a fifty-six Dodge

He came through every other romance unscathed and undaunted
But at least he was always sure he knew what he wanted
He spent his whole life rounding up the usually suspected
Just to fall when he least expected

There was something about the way she looked at him and smiled
That made him kind of nervous
He was used to treading on thin ice
But he didn't even recognize this surface
Coming to terms with love in the new order
He flopped around like a fish out of water

She wasn't cast out of his imaginary mold
Wasn't she the type that usually left him cold
Yet it was this mystery that wouldn't release it's hold
She painted him into a corner
This time for sure he was a goner

He came through every other romance unscathed and undaunted
But at least he was always sure he knew what he wanted
He spent his whole life rounding up the usually suspected
Just to fall when he least expected
Just to fall when he least expected
