Meat Loaf, Clare Torry - 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 gonna find me

Can't ya 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)
Wwe'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)
Oh gimmee the future with a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Oh gimmee 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)
Gimmee the future with a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Gimmee the future with a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Oh, gimme the future with a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Oh, won't you gimme the future
With a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Oh, 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)
