Modern Girl - Alec Ounsworth

Modern Girl Lyrics

Once a beautiful Miss America married Mr. Right
Had a little baby girl born on a stormy night.
But that was once upon a time
now it's a brand new world.
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future with a modern girl.
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future with a modern girl.
Somewhere just between the past and somethin' dawnin' new
There's a break in the chain
a skip in the clock
Girl
that's where I'm gonna find you.
Between the boy I was before and what I'm gonna be
There's a clash on the border
a flame in the sky

Girl
that's where you're gonna find me.
Can't you hear the planet groanin' like a broken down machine
Rusted with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens.
But you and I stand innocent
baby
it's a brand new world.
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future with a modern girl. ...
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future with a modern girl.
We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway
Gimme the future
gimme the future.
Oh
laughin'
While the road maps blow away
Gimme the future with a modern girl.
We're the son and the daughter
And we ain't afraid
Gimme the future
gimme the future.
Won't be makin' the mistakes
Our fathers made
Gimme the future with a modern girl.
Gimme the future
gimme the future
Gimme the future with a modern girl.
Gimme the future
gimme the future
Gimme the future with a modern girl.
Once a beautiful Miss America married Mr. Right
Had a little baby boy born on a stormy night. . . .
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future with a modern girl. ...
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future with a modern girl. ...
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future with a modern girl. ...
We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway
. . .
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future with a . ...
