Misfits and mystics

She stands and hands her tambourine
to someone that she's never seen
he hurries to the microphone
and sings a song she knows from home

She goes and knows he'll understand
she'll always have the upper hand
he sighs and tries to comprehend
the rules he cannot seem to bend

     misfits and mystics
     hopeful romantics
     misfits and mystics
     so free and so frantic
     misfits and mystics

she falls, he calls an ambulance
and performs a healing dance
then weeps and creeps into the room
to get away from sudden doom

he hovers, she recovers fast
all her bad luck is in the past
she smiles, he whiles the time away
that takes him past their yesterdays
