Mystery & Wonder

In a song called “mystery and wonder”
Can there be any of either?
It’s obvious I’m calling my muse
And I’m deaf, dumb and blind
She is laughing at me like the girl who left me waiting
While she peaked ‘round the lockers
It’s obvious she’s not the one

I read about his death on page 49
15 pages more than his years
And suicide that dared to entice me
Reminded me heroes have much more to do
It would be cute to say I want to be hero of your heart
But I want to make love to the whole wide world
And it’s obvious that’s not the way

Everywhere I go I see people in need of mystery and wonder
Everywhere I go…see people in need of love

And I want to take all that on
While I’m buying groceries on credit
So I’m singing to 5 of you,
Sometimes it’s 50
500’s a really big score
Maybe I should cool it
But I can’t help myself
I keep talking myself out of pain
And I really can’t see another way
