TWENTIETH CENTURY GIRL

20th century girl.
No you’re not like the rest
in your glowing green dress.
There’s other quite like you.
No, no one like you.

20th century girl.
You’re ahead of your time.
Yes, it must be a sign.
But there seem to be nothing I can do.
No, nothing to do.

El Diablo brought you here to me.
Exactly why, I can’t quite see.
But it doesn’t matter anyway.
‘cause you’re here and that’s why I say,

20th century girl.
I don’t need you hanging ‘round.
I can see where you’re bound.
You’ll just be bringing me down.
Oh, don’t bring me down.

El Diablo brought you here to me.
Exactly why, I can’t quite see.
But it doesn’t matter anyway.
‘cause you’re here and that’s why I say,

20th century girl.
I can tell you tonight
That I’ve finally seen the light
And I’ll never be in the dark again.
No, never again.
