The Future Freaks Me Out

I'm on fire, and now I think I'm ready to bust a move

Check it out, I'm rocking steady, go

Betty won't stop listening to modern rock, how she hates to be alone

I try to compensate her lack of love with coffee cake, ice cream

And a bottle of ten dollar wine

She says, "Hey, I rock the Haro Sport, I rock the cowgirl blues

I rock too fast for love, I'm footloose in my velcro shoes

What's up with Will and Grace? I don't get drum and bass

The future freaks me out"

I'm on fire, and now I think I'm ready to bust a move

Check it out, I'm rocking steady

To the beat in my head, it goes oh, oh

I know that she's the only one

I'd rather waste our time together, yeah

'Cause we can get down

Betty can't quit carving question marks in my wrist

How come we're so alone?

We waste away the days with nicotine and television samples

Of an era we hate to admit we embrace

We fail to represent, we fail to be content

We fail at everything we ever even try to attempt

And so the story goes as only Betty knows

It's time we take control

I'm on fire, and now I think I'm ready to bust a move

Check it out, I'm rocking steady

To the beat in my head, it goes oh, oh

I know that she's the only one

I'd rather waste my time with her

Betty, I need you, I miss you, I'm so alone without you

To call up on the weekends with my cellular phone

Betty, it's so hard to relate to the whole human race

I don't know where to begin, I don't know where to begin

If we could both find a way to do the things that we say

We might not fit in our rooms and drink our daydreams away

Betty, I'm a dreamer, I'm not a vicious schemer

Oh, betty, won't you, oh, fuck it

I'm on fire, and now I think I'm ready to bust a move

Check it out, I'm rocking steady

To the beat in my head, it goes oh, oh

I know that she's the only one

I'd rather waste our time together, yeah

'Cause we can get down
