I think my favorite is a verse in "Painfully Single". I was thinking about a friend and what she was going through to meet someone. Answering singles ads in a magazine came to mind... I love the rhymes:The magazinesAre where my lonely search beginsThey advertiseUsing clever acronymsReality replaces hypeMeet for a drink, just not my type Casey

Hmmmm... I have a few, other than the one I posted earlier on this thread...In "Physical World", I'm talking about how I feel out of my league with this very attractive woman...But it's no useWhen worlds collideI'm a fish that's out of waterSquirming to surviveAnd in "Wonder Woman", a song which compares a woman to the comic book hero:With magic bracelets you deflect the painI wonder, woman, why I need to explain (play on the words "Wonder Woman")Super heroes lead such lonely livesThey save the world and sleep alone every night Casey

Then the rains came --- washed away our fearsThen the rains came --- after all these yearsWe had come to see our lives through shades of doubtThen the rains came ------

Nomi, that's a really bittersweet lyric. "happy endings", "At least..." I'm not sure if it's happy, sad, or both. Cool.
