i’ll be a child of the universe
your rioting amnesia cure
riding in your Model A
i’ll be your hooker waitress, yeah
take me anywhere
have me any way

let’s be wild in encino
get me high on placebos
and hang me from the hollywood H
you tell me, if you’re old as you feel
tell me love is real
tell me things never change

hey moderno deluxe
i’d like to be occupied by you
i’m not just a kid
in over his head
with what you do
say, when i’m old enough
will you sing me to sleep with 3 chord blues?
punk rock is dead
gonna grow up anatomic too
standing in your 5 o'clock
waiting in your rearview

and we’ll die like the rest of them
but try like like the best of us
could maybe make a better half
throw me out like you change your hair
live your best life
do what’s chemically fair

hey moderno deluxe
i’d like to be occupied by you
i’m not just a kid
in over his head
with what you do
say, when i’m old enough
will you sing me to sleep with 3 chord blues?
punk rock is dead
gonna grow up anatomic too
standing in your 5 o'clock
waiting in your rearview

i don’t even see you standing there
all i can see's a silhouette of you
of you

hey moderno deluxe
i’d like to be occupied by you
i’m not just a kid
in over his head
with what you do
say, when i’m old enough
would you sing me to sleep with your 3 chord blues?
punk rock is dead
gonna grow up anatomic too
standing in your 5 o'clock
waiting in your rearview

Moderno Deluxe

never thought i could love you
oil and water can't be mixed
i went to hell and back for you
so that i could be fixed

now i don't know what hurts worse
your denial or loving you
this soul i carry is a curse
i never wanted it til i met you

i can't escape this constant ringing in my head
when you're not in my bed
you only use me when you want me and then
you shut me out again

we're natural born enemies
but I'm not at war with you
and you're not at war with me
if you were you'd drive a stake right through

my heart, I'm haunted by your perfume in the air, the golden of your hair
display me on a cross in the desert in the sun and watch me turn to dust
i can't escape this constant ringing in my head
when you're not in my bed
you only use me when you want me and then
you shut me out again

oh and i
i want you to say
say that you love me i know it's inside of you
you lie
and say i’m a thing
that I'm not capable of feeling anything
oh but i
i know that i am
i’ve been through trials and errors to understand

i can't escape this constant ringing in my head
when you're not in my bed
you only use me when you want me and then
you shut me out again
my heart, i’m haunted by your perfume in the air, the golden of your hair
display me on a cross in the desert in the sun and watch me turn to dust
