Modern Girl Lyrics – Bleachers
Modern Girl Song Lyrics
[Intro: Jack Antonoff]
One, two, three, go
Woah, yeah
[Verse 1: Jack Antonoff]
Friday night, killer queens
Hop a train, on the scene
All the band is in the wild
Don't you dare touch the dial
We dressed up like a heart attack for you
We dressed up like a heart attack
I'm talking little jeans, tiny hat
Evan Smith, tiny sax
Drama kings, sing it loud
Drag that ѕh¡t all over town
Play it like a heart attack for ya
We play it like a heart attack
[Chorus: Jack Antonoff]
So kiss me on the cheek
Make it a long goodbye
Ooh, and all the modern girls
(Just like the modern girls)
Shaking their αѕѕ tonight
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love on a wire
Oh, looking for a fight
Ooh, and all the modern boys
(Just like the modern boys)
Are going out tonight, woah
[Post-Chorus: Jack Antonoff]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 2: Jack Antonoff]
Change my meds, change the flight
Bodies on, bodies wild
Bodycam, only flams
Bleachers band, only flams
We play it like a heart attack for ya
We play it like a heart attack
I guess I'm New Jersey's finest New Yorker
Unreliable reporter
Pop music hoarder
Some guy playing quarters
But I'm wearing a heart attack, baby
A Mikey Freedom heart attack
[Chorus: Jack Antonoff]
So kiss me on the cheek
Make it a long goodbye
Ooh, and all the modern girls
(Just like the modern girls)
Shaking their αѕѕ tonight
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love on a wire
Oh, looking for a fight
Ooh, and all the modern boys
(Just like the modern boys)
Are going out tonight, woah
[Interlude: Jack Antonoff]
Evan the kid, let's go
[Bridge: Jack Antonoff]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Chorus: Jack Antonoff]
So kiss me on the cheek
La-la-la-la, make it a long goodbye
Ooh, and all the modern girls
(Just like the modern girls)
Shaking their αѕѕ tonight
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love on a wire
Oh, looking for a fight
Ooh, and all the modern boys
(Just like the modern boys)
Are going out tonight
[Outro: Jack Antonoff]
Just like the modern girls, just for the modern girls
Just like the modern girls
Just like the modern boys, just for the modern boys
Just like the modern boys
Hutch
