Meat Loaf - The Collection

Modern Girl - Live

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
(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)
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
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

(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
gimme the future with a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Won't you gimme the future with a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Won't you gimme the future with a modern girl

We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
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 with a modern girl)
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

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
