People You Meet Outside of Bars - The Scientist Lyrics

The scientist said, "This heart is just an organ
"Like anything else, it has its purpose
Circulating my blood round and round again"

Not one for moonlit walks or frivolously lengthy talks
Or similes involving the Atlantic
The scientist said, "I'm not much of a romantic"

And when the scientist, he fell in love
He said, "These chemicals are complicated
"This chemistry is over-rated"

The scientist snapped his medical gloves
Turned to the rats in their cage
Said, "I have knowledge; wisdom's coming with age"

The scientist said, "This is quite unlike me
"But recently, I - that is to say - well, I can't help but notice
Your eyes are like the deep blue sea"

The scientist grew roses in test tubes and vials
And the scientist
Smiled a care-free smile

'Cause the scientist knew the statistics
Knew he'd get hurt, knew that love can die
But the scientist said, "Anything's worth a try"
