[Reversed Intro: Jill Jones]

[Verse 1]
I want to be a modernaire
Modernaire modernaire
I want to be a modernaire
Modernaire modernaire
Pessimistic attitudes
Never will I wear

[Chorus]
I want to be a modernaire
Modernaire modernaire
I want to be
I want to be
Modernaire

[Verse 2]
I want to be a modernaire
Modernaire modernaire
I want to swim underwater
I want to breathe modern air
I want to surface a new human being
Bereft of cold despair

[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Plastic bags in L.A
Tried to take my girl away
If she really wanted my love
I guess she would have stayed
I'm sick of pretty liars
With their cool cut hair
I'd rather have a dirty long-haired lover
When I need her, she's there

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Modernaire
I want to be a paper junkie
I want to make long green
I'd never steal or sell my body
Unless I stole a limousine
I want to be
I want to be
Modernaire
