Vida Novela

Crossing the avenue street at ten
At an intersection, eyes scanning from head to toe
Steps, slow steps, a cascade of emotions
Imagining things, sowing illusions

Soap opera life, I see you on the screen
A leap in the dark
I dive when I see you
Phases of the Moon
Afternoons out on the street
Standing on the sidewalk
All that's missing is you

All that's missing, all that's missing, all that's missing is you
All that's missing, all that's missing, all that's missing is you
All that's missing, all that's missing, all that's missing is you
All that's missing, all that's missing, all that's missing is you

She was from a small town
And she thought it was really cool
People should always stand on the right side
On the escalator
She always said the subway was really good
She had a beautiful way of looking at things
I don't
I loved it when her laughter came softly
First, she'd open her eyes
Then pretending she didn't want to smile
I really liked her smile
She doesn't

Soap opera life, I see you on the screen
A leap in the dark, I dive when I see you
Phases of the Moon, afternoons out on the street
Standing on the sidewalk, all that's missing is you

All that's missing, all that's missing, all that's missing is you
All that's missing, all that's missing, all that's missing is you
All that's missing, all that's missing, all that's missing is you
All that's missing, all that's missing, all that's missing is you

Soap opera life, I see you on the screen
A leap in the dark, I dive when I see you
Phases of the Moon, afternoons out on the street
Standing on the sidewalk, all that's missing is you
