Modern Love

::VERSE::
Sitting at the bar, it seems to far
to walk over; say hello to you
I imagine that's what your cigarette's for
to keep away the letches and bores

There was a time when my tight pants thrilled
now it seems the effect has chilled 
don't know when my hair turned white
it seemed to happen overnight

Sitting at the bar seems just fine
better than watching my waist line
go from bad to heart attack fatal
want to run the film backward
from grave to craddle

::CHORUS::

Now it's too late for the school girls
to early for the moms 
what's a guy to do who's stuck in between
between the grave and the gun
am I the only one who stopped having fun
this modern love keeps bringing me down
this modern love keeps bringing me down

::BREAK::

Oh daisy, you're so crazy with your baby clock
it goes tick, tick, (etc.) and then it sets you off
and then I find you on the phone
all alone and calling home
asking mother what it's like 
to come home tired every night
just to fuck and have a fight
she says "the work is nice, if you can get it
only dykes and whores eat alone at breakfast
and you don't want that to be you.
What's worse than old is unused."
