Lyrics

Girlfriend Mode
© 2003 By Al Polito

Chorus:
When he's in girlfriend mode
He never calls his friends
When he's in girlfriend mode
He never calls his friends

He boards a ship, set sail for sea
Hoping to find his destiny
Forgetting his debts, forgetting supplies
Taking no leave, and hearing no cries
But I truly hope my friend finds just what he needs
I hope his dreams will not erode
After the girlfriend mode

He builds a temple made of glass
The fragile foundation starts to crack
Fed by his dreams, and nourished by need
He works and works, no warning he heeds
But I truly hope my friend finds just what he needs
I hope his dreams will not erode
After the girlfriend mode

Chorus

In Lotus Land they drink their wine
(In their own world, they drink Merlot) *
Their lives are one, their love is blind
(They just won?t see, they just don?t know)
The city's in ruins, they dance on the rubble
(The place is a mess, they roll in the dirt)
There is no fighting, there is no trouble
(He bears her breast, she tears his shirt)
But I truly hope my friend finds just what he needs
I hope his dreams will not erode
After the girlfriend mode

When he's in girlfriend mode
He never calls his friends
When he's in girlfriend mode
He never calls his friends
He never calls his friends
He never calls his friends

* Italicized lines are sung in counterpoint underneath the main melody
