Romantica - How To Live In A Modern Wolrd lyrics

I've tried to live my life between the platter and the knife Between my daughter and my wife is where you'll find me I haven't tried to go crazy, just walking around looking for a melody Or someone who could sell me to the world How to live in a modern world Roll the dice, find a girl Throw away the TV, and have some kids Move into the big city Next door to a colored family Don't do what your daddy did All alone in the modern times like a bird on a telephone line Like a preacher without any signs or wonders at all Like a man in a sycamore tree watching God walk underneath Feeling the ocean washing over me in New Orleans How to live in a modern world Roll the dice, find a girl Throw away the TV, and have some kids Move into the big city Next door to a colored family Don't do what your daddy did How to live in a modern world Roll the dice, find a girl Throw away the TV, and have some kids Move into the big city Next door to a colored family Don't do what your daddy did
