Stranger Than Romantic Fiction (Song)

Like crayon pictures,
with big smiling suns
that i drew when i was four years old
and my heart was young.

or like Buck Rogers
in Twenty Four Oh One
with comic book rocket ships
and cosmic ray guns.

It’s unrealistic
the way i feel,
and i have to pinch myself
just to make sure it’s real.

I was a sceptic
when we first met
then my heart leapt to the moon
and i saw the earth set.

It was stranger
than romantic fiction,
like hollywood
but twice as good.
Those love song
poetic depictions
tried to capture it
but never could.

It was stranger
than romantic fiction,
like hollywood
but twice as good.
Those love song
poetic depictions
tried to capture it
but never could.

Like miracle cures
in magazine ads,
that promise to make you rich and thin
or your money back.

Like in a cartoon,
when characters fall
off of a cliff but bounce right back just
like a rubber ball.

It’s unrealistic
the way i feel,
and i have to pinch myself
just to make sure it’s real.

I was a sceptic
when we first met
then my heart leapt to the moon
and i saw the earth set.

It was stranger
than romantic fiction,
like hollywood
but twice as good.
Those love song
poetic depictions
tried to capture it
but never could.

It was stranger
than romantic fiction,
like hollywood
but twice as good.
Those love song
poetic depictions
tried to capture it
but never could.
