Once a beautiful Miss America married Mr. RightHad a little baby girl born on a stormy night.

But that was once upon a time

Gimme the future

gimme the futuregimme the future with a modern girl.Somewhere just between the past and somethin' dawnin' newThere's a break in the chain

a skip in the clockGirl

that's where I'm gonna find you.

Between the boy I was before and what I'm gonna beThere's a clash on the border

a flame in the skyGirl

that's where you're gonna find me.Can't you hear the planet groanin' like a broken down machineRusted with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens.

But you and I stand innocent
