The register tape said her name was Jen and
“Thanks for coming! Please come again.”
Polite, he thought, you know my mom would like her
So he waited around ‘til she got off work.

Well she should’ve been scared but she wasn’t
She’d never seen him before but she could tell He was kinda strange.
All the normal boys had always caused her pain
So what the hell she said and they took a walk in the rain.

CH1: When you’re looking for something
You take any sign
When you want to hear poetry
Any word’s going to sound right.
We cling to our faith and seal our fate...Whatever

Fortune cookie, the old eight ball
Mary’s visage on a Spanish wall
I’ve got my lucky number and my mojo man
We’re just doing the best we can

Well it should all make sense but it doesn’t
In a world of confusion where nothing is set in stone
Every scientist knows there’s a place where it all breaks down
So they set the hunches and another probe lifts from the ground.

CH1:

BR:
It’s the mystery that keeps hope alive
When disappointment wracks you
Time after time after time
I put my life in another’s hands
‘cause I’ve learned now not to trust my own.

I guess you're wondering what happened to Jen
And how things went with her new boyfriend
They were really great together
‘til she left in search of something better

Well that should have been it but it wasn’t
Something told her it was time to move along
Something about the words to her favorite song
And she never asked if maybe they could be wrong

CH2:
When you’re looking for something
it never ends
Doesn’t always take a clean break
‘cause people can bend
but we cling to our faith
and seal our fate...whatever.
