Alternative Girlfriend

You`re in an all-girl band<br>Your futon`s second-hand<br>Your parents understand but you don`t care.<br>I have a job in a shop<br>I`m an undercover cop<br>I make sure the customers aren`t thieves <br><br>Old at being young, young at being old<br>Everything`s on hold within our evolution <br><br>(chorus)<br>You`re my alternative girlfriend<br>I love you and now you cannot pretend<br>There`s nothing left that won`t cross over <br><br>Last night we slept on the lawn<br>You woke up and I was gone<br>Back to the dream I dream to leave<br>My life with her is a bore<br>A worn-out metaphor<br>No more surprises up its sleeve <br><br>We`re old at being young, young at being old<br>Everything`s been sold to others` revolutions <br><br>(chorus)<br><br>You live above your dad`s four-car garage<br>With your vinyl and imaginary entourage.<br>If I pull up in a U-Haul, pack up quick<br>So we can get out of this town, `cause it makes me sick. <br><br>(chorus)
