At century’s end

Nobody’s holding out for heaven

It’s not for creatures here below

We just suit up for a game

The name of which we used to know

By now it’s second nature

Scratch the cab

We can grab the local

Let’s get to the love scene, my friend

Which means look, maybe touch

But beyond that not too much

Dumb love in the city

At century’s end
