Your night in shining armor is...
Just Tin foil in the trash.
You've have  been a toy of his.

One peculiar thing after another...

that attracted her so fatally
I was just an inconspicuous guy,
sitting in a lonely hearts club,
minding my own business
When she invaded my privacy,
and latched on to me like a...

Each single morning on my way to work
I fantasize what happens in New York
If I were to spend a long weekend there.
