Changing of the Guard Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Modern maiden, modern times
Twenty channels, twenty lines
Took a bit I'm feeling fine

Isolated by design
What could be better than this?


[Verse 2]
Pull in the forefront, backlit by the storefront
Don't tell me what I should do, do
Or what I can't

Should we leave this stupid room?
Did I ask her way too soon?

I guess we'll just have to make, make
We'll make some other plans

[Chorus]
So, I can do it better than that
The changing of the guards, oh
I can do it better than that

[Verse 3]
Never congratulations wait and changes
A scene within another scene
I took a pill I'm feeling lean
Jealous and a little mean
What could be better than this?
[Verse 4]
Girl in the foreground, score with an old sound
Don't tell her what can do, do
Or what she can't
Should we leave this stupid place?
Did I ask her way too late?
I guess we'll just have to make, make
We'll make some other plans

[Chorus]
So, I can do it better than that
The changing of the guards, oh
I can do it better than that

[Bridge]
So we run, run, run, run
Tell me where you wanna run
What you running from?
Just tell me and we'll
Run, run, run, run
Tell me where you wanna run
What we're running from
Just tell me now
We'll make some other plans

[Chorus]
So, I can do it better than that
The changing of the guards, oh
I can do it better than that
[Outro]
Oh, changing of the guard
And it's the change that makes it hard
Oh it's the changing of the guard
And it's the change that makes it hard
