Modern History

Well the desk porter laughed
News of our legend and our exploits
Travelled car
From bell-hop to hired car
All this and more
Modern History
On the third floor

So is this where he died
Spend your life cutting words up
With a knife
I light a candle for each night
You wate away your life

Well they're never gonna forget us
We're the most famous
People that they know
Went to a party
I didn't say a word
You don't know how lucky you were
You don't know how lucky you are

So we set fire to your room
And we bandaged up your
hands and arms - now
Where's your beauty gone
