Brave New World - Michael Penn[00:00:00]
Written by:Michael Penn[00:00:06]
Baby's busy hiding in the bassinet[00:00:10]
Wonderin' if the third world war started yet[00:00:12]
I told her I was pulling up and heading west[00:00:14]
She said she would have come but she was overdressed[00:00:16]
So I sent a picture postcard of a midwest bank[00:00:19]
She wrote me that she showed it to her new friend frank[00:00:21]
Who noticed in a window on the 19th floor[00:00:24]
A guy my age about to prove that man can't soar[00:00:26]
And he would also like to know[00:00:29]
If I could just check around before I left this town[00:00:33]
For slow mo footage of the tumble down so[00:00:36]
This may not be my best day[00:00:39]
But this ain't no golden age[00:00:44]
You looked pretty on the freeway[00:00:49]
Let's drive into the brave new world[00:00:54]
A van pulls up and someone offers me a ride[00:01:04]
The driver lost the map and he was terrified[00:01:06]
Everybody whispering to save his pride say[00:01:09]
Son would you be kind enough to be our guide[00:01:11]
The driver yells the one in back already tried[00:01:14]
But his memory is rusty and his vision tied[00:01:15]
Glasses and a lubricant were by his side but[00:01:18]
The tin man was inanimate the lion lied[00:01:21]
They did not want to see me go[00:01:23]
But I did not want to be another muskateer[00:01:28]
Plus the gas runs out before the van's in gear[00:01:30]
Please don't hit me if I do say[00:01:34]
But this ain't no golden age[00:01:38]
You looked so pretty on the freeway[00:01:43]
Let's drive into the brave new world[00:01:48]
Buster and his company look good in black[00:02:11]
They're looking for a way out of the cul de sac[00:02:13]
Tearing through the phone book and the almanac[00:02:16]
They all have dusty noses 'cause they sniff shellac[00:02:17]
They finally found the number of a matador[00:02:21]
Who rode up in a beemer with a pricey whore[00:02:23]
But buster wasn't quick enough[00:02:25]
He'd lock the door[00:02:27]
And rode off sayin' he'd be back before the war[00:02:28]
By then the night was falling slow[00:02:30]
And I did not want to stick around and just look old[00:02:35]
When I saw you pulling onto my soft shoulder[00:02:37]
This may not be my best day[00:02:41]
But this ain't no golden age[00:02:46]
You looked pretty on the freeway[00:02:51]
Let's drive into the brave new world[00:02:55]
Please don't hit me if I do say[00:03:01]
But this ain't no golden age[00:03:05]
You looked so pretty on the freeway[00:03:10]
Let's drive into the brave new world[00:03:15]
Yeh[00:03:22]
