When she jumped off the seesaw

i came crashing down

i lit a votive candle

and she lit up the town

when she went water skiing

i took a bottle and i drowned

every day i've lost

is just a minute that she's found


benji was

just a mangy mutt

but he hung around

until he made the cut


orphan annie

held out for the sun

of tomorrow

cause tomorrow's gotta come


but she's tripping on blue eyes

and god made my eyes brown

and when i need her here

is when she's not around


people never

close their traps

people say

that opposites attract


and i prayed so hard

my rosary is red

but maybe i'm a fool

cause maybe god is dead

but when you're drinking faith

you buy another round


cause once you cash it in

well, there's no going back

so i'll have one more

and pray that opposites attract


the sign of the cross

always starts

at the head, but ends up

at the heart


and how we fail

and all we lack

and heads believe

that they're never coming back


but hearts forgive

and souls interact

and in the end

opposites attract
