Lyrics
Modern Swinger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
she's out of luck and out of hope and out of cigarettes
misunderstood with naked pictures on the internet
her social deviance is teasing me
I know what I want
and I'm really gonna really let her know
that I like her but I just don't care enough
to fool around with love
yeah my baby's pretty as a car crash
sexy as the stinger of a hornet in your arm
just another modern swinger screaming
catch me if you can
with a cigarette in hand and it's love
its heavy and it hurts and it's love
strung out on blow
she doesn't know
why she's not feeling good
dropped out of school and now she's moving out to Hollywood
her reckless decadence is taking things a little too far
and I'm really gonna really let her know
that I like her but I just don't care enough
to fool around with love
yeah my baby's pretty as a car crash
subtle as a splinter
yeah my baby's smooth as sandpaper
warm just like the winter
screaming catch me if you can
with a cigarette in hand and it's love
its heavy and it hurts and it's love
staring at my shoes
thinking of something to say
but nothings better than what silence is saying
when every time I turn around
she's always looking away
its just the nature of the game that were playing
And I think I'm tapping out,
I think I'm gonna skip the title bout
my baby's pretty as a car crash
sexy as the stinger of a hornet in your arm
just another modern swinger screaming
catch me if you can
with a cigarette in hand and it's love
its heavy and it hurts and it's love
yeah my baby's pretty as a car crash
subtle as a splinter
yeah my baby's smooth as sandpaper
warm just like the winter
screaming catch me if you can
with a cigarette in hand and it's love
its heavy and it hurts and it's love
my baby's pretty as a car crash
sexy as the stinger of a hornet in your arm
just another modern swinger screaming
catch me if you can
with a cigarette in hand and it's love
its heavy and it hurts and it's love
