Vic Chesnutt - Soft Pica**o lyrics

It was a modern love affair completely cool and casual They hardly knew each other was there Both of them had their own getting off to do They had to dream about their own self when they were through But the modern girl was elated with what the revolution gave her Since she was liberated she could have anything that striked her fancy And she fancied quite a bit if it felt good she did it And she did it every chance she could get With her main modern man and otherwise And her taste wasn't limited to just modern guys Since another modern girl showed her that modern girls know how to hold her And after she had her eyes opened all her old close friends started getting closer And new friends weren't that far away but the modern man wasn't so lucky being shook from his usual role as the heartbreaker He was completely battered and bewildered When he actually started in feeling something for her And he discovered a new emotion when they stopped ending up together as frequently And when he finally confronted her with the question had she been bedding down with others in the periphery without him And she replied "Hell yes! ain't it funny!" so view the modern man looking like a soft Pica**o He's there with his head in his hand repeating to himself an epigram "Live by the scam, die by the scam."
