Modern Man

Found my calling calling me a bad streak.

Destroyer sang, nostalgia left, I wept for days.

It’s been far too long in New York City,

The times are hard and people change.

I was never there to mend a flower,

I never gave a damn to your little cause.

Because that song was sung for better reasons,

I didn’t know I was half the man I was.

I was being real modern (you didn't know??)

I was being real modern (100 years too slow)

I was being a role model (for no working class)

Memories don't last when you're making them alone.

She paid back none of her debts on time.

I was pulled into her dark sway.

Though the winters are all the same...

I still miss them anyway.

"I wasn't breaking your heart,

I was breaking down."

Found no peace of mine in New York City,

It was 1984 all over again!

I was touched by a woman that struck white lightning:

I’ll never be shocked like that poor me again!
