she was late late late to the prom
the waltzing was over and everyone had gone
she got lost in the mirror dreaming up songs
oh golly gee how sad to be
late to the prom
“i wish i had nickel for every time
i made up a rhyme”
she was late late late to the prom
the waltzing was over and everyone had gone
she got lost in the mirror dreaming up songs
oh golly gee how sad to be
late to the prom
“and i wish i had a dollar for every line
of words that were mine”
she was late late late to the prom
the waltzing was over and everyone had gone
she got lost in the mirror dreaming up songs
oh it’s too late
heaven can wait
late to the prom
oh golly gee how sad to be
late to the prom

she's got something about her
that i just can't seem to put into words
just a melody for a pretty songbird
and then when she comes -a- walking
i think of things that we could be talking about
i'm tuning in she's so far out
we'll start with an introduction
a conversation in couplets, meter and rhyme
while these jangling chords go around in my mind
a one minute fifty second hit song
that i just can't get out of my head
so may we start it all over again
she says she wants to go solo
til i repeated the lines that would bridge our worlds
dedicated to a short pop song about a girl

I'm holding out for a song
waiting for a tune to come along
open up for inspiration
I begin the incantation
on and on and on and on and on
I’m holding on for life
waiting on a chance to get it right
duplicate or replication
must preserve the reservation
on and on and on and on and on
I'm holding on,
just a breeze and maybe I'll be gone,
I'm holding on,
up above the wind is screaming,
god looks down on pigeons dreaming
I'm holding out for a song
waiting for a tune to come along
open up for inspiration
I repeat the incantation
on and on and on and on and on
