I met a woman in orange
She was gorgeous
She was a sight, man
Like a fallen sprite with a suntan
Even if she says that it's too late
Even if I gotta wait and wait and wait
Even if it's buried in the sand
You find the beauty anywhere you can
Gotta find us a basement
Somewhere new we can practice
The neighbors always yell at us
When we sing out songs in Spanish
Even if you feel immature
Even if you've heard the joke before
Even if you're laughing at a broken man
You find the laughter anywhere you can
I ditched all my classes
Passed the day on a mattress
Laid out like a coffin
Just rereading Auden
Even if you've gotta take it slow
Even if there are some words you don't know
Even though it might not always scan
You find the meaning in anything you can
I wrote this song on a bike ride
Nicked the tune from a B-side
You should have seen the smile on my face
As the words fell into their places
Even if the piano's out of tune
Even if you're just howling at the moon
Even if you can't sing worth a damn
You find the melody anywhere you can
You find the music anywhere you can
