Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from Mars

Okay, if you can't place the title of this one it is a Bon Jovi song, and a fun one at that. It's about a guy whose a little nutty but rides a bus a few hours to see a woman who is likewise...different. But together they are quite the couple and sound rather happy, so all good.

This morning I think I saw the inspiration for these folks. A man and a woman, probably in their forties but perhaps younger, they looked like life wasn't easy. I'd put them in the next to homeless category. Both had that special look to them. She was wearing a sea foam green sweat suit with red socks, he was wearing shorts and a purple T-shirt and carrying her shoes. They were just walking down the street, holding hands and crossing against the light, very obviously thrilled to be with each other.

Just cute and not a bad way to start a day.

Dressed up for a big date
Like halloween day but it was fourth of july now
A car crash with a suitcase and a painted face
She was one of a kind
She wears a plastic crown like cinderella
And roller skates in bed
Crash rides the greyhound from his hometown
When he comes around cause they dont let him drive now
Mixed up as a milkshake
But make no mistake
Theyre shooting for the stars

Chorus:
You and meWere invincible together
We can be so tragical, whatever
Dressed up just like ziggy but he couldnt play guitar
Captain crash and the beauty queen from mars

Share a toothpick, trading lipstick
Watching traffic for days at the diner
Holding hands, making big plans
Playing superman, he was wearing eyeliner
Another local legend and his longtime lucky charm

Theyre drunk on love as you can get
Getting high on lust and cigarettes
Living life with no regrets
At least theyre gonna try to fly
We're Sid and Nancy
Fred and Ginger
Clyde and Bonnie
Liz and Richard
Kurt and Courtney
Bacall and Bogie
Joltin Joe and Ms. Monroe
