The Personals

(Music and Lyrics:  John Abadi and Stu Mullins)

Line after line, highlighting astral signs
Faith in black in white,
Whimsical Valentines

You spot your queen in the back of a magazine
When you write there’s no reply

We try to summarize in forty words or less
Our wildest dreams, our deepest fears
The things we can’t confess

And I hope you see I’m not seeking desperately
I’m too tired to play the game

And I know it’s late but more than ever I’ll wait
To find the right words to convince you one day.

I’ve watched you analyze, scrutinize, memorize the best ones
And the funny ones, too.

But you haven’t found the one that’s perfect for you
But I’ve got some news, on page 82, you will find these words:

Single by choice, a pleasant voice
Non-smoking, coffee drinking
Seeks deep-thinking boy.
Box 204, if you can’t ignore
This , Rubinesque tempestous
Damsel in Distress.
