Like a worn out (2)__________________ of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleepin' I read the paper in bed
And in the (3)________________ columns, there was this letter I read

If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape
Then I'm the (10)________ that you've looked for, write to me and escape
