Old Love - Modern Love = Confusion

She glides like sheās on the catwalk
Sheās an intellect, a hand full of chalk
In her mind, sheās the saviour of mankind
Old love is a million miles behind
Her face is orange, her hair peroxide
Her skin, to others, she doesnāt hide
Iām in the shackles of her power
Sheās the intruder in the dust
I donāt know what she is speaking of
She calls it modern love
But I want old love
I want old love
I want old love
Sheās a tragic creature, sheās an insomniac
Sheās hands out free tickets for piggybacks
Yeah her fashion is expensive
She receives, she does not give
Sheās ice, sheās fire, sheās a caterpillar
An author of books on serial killers
She says her heart is a morgue
And I am the defining corpse
I donāt know what she is speaking of
She calls it modern love
But I want old love
I want old love
I want old love
Sheās a fame conception, sheās an acclaimed drunk
She keeps me locked up inside of a trunk
Sheās a magnet with ruptured precision
An interpretation of some decisions
Sheās got me under her instructions
She isnāt a connoisseur of introductions
She knows the world owes her nothing
And she doesnāt owe it anything
I donāt know what she is speaking of
She calls it modern love
But I want old love
I want old love
I want old love
I am Adam and she is Eve
I know that is hard to believe
Her mind plugged to a satellite
Her paranoia keeps her up at night
Inside the Gates of Tranquillity
She puts a question to me
Ā āHas another been in our crib?ā
I said, āHoney! Count my ribs!ā
She donāt know what Iām speaking of
I call it old love
But she wants modern love
She wants modern love
She wants modern love
She wants modern love

I usually have a lot of religious themes in my stuff. Iām totally not religious at all lol But I respect people who are and have that faith, I wish I could. But the stories from the Bible and The Quran are fascinating to me. Love your feedback, Pratibha, it inspires me x
