[Intro]
It seems to be the mood to return to slowness, now
We want to present one of the older songs in the band's repertoire, starting now
It's dedicated to-to everyone in the audience
Every girl who's father owned an electric 225, once
Someone once asked me, recently, if I understood the "Jewish Princess" concept
And as evidencе, I told them how I wrote this song, "Hospital," which you're gonna hеar
Now, this is written all about that
We want to try and give you a feeling for the East Coast
Since-since we're out here, it's the least we can do
And so, when-when we're in typical Modern Lovers precise order, we'll present this next song
Shit, you guys get in so much trouble
Yeah, gives me a chance to be funny
Two-three
[Verse 1]
When you get out of the hospital
Let me back into your life
I can't stand what you do
I'm in love with your eyes
[Verse 2]
And when you get out of the dating bar
I'll be here to get back into your life (softer)
I can't stand what you do
But I'm in love with your eyes
[Chorus]
Oh, I can't stand what you do
Sometimes I can't stand you
It makes me think about me
That I'm involved with you
But I'm in love with this power that shows through
In your eyes
[Verse 3]
Now, I go to bakeries all day long
'Cause there's been a lack of sweetness in my life
Yeah, and there's been pain inside
You can see it in my eyes
[Verse 4]
We're not kidding when we say
There's been pain inside
You can see it in my eyes
Makes me think about me
How I've lost my pride
But I'm in love with this power that resides
In your eyes
[Verse 5]
Now you live in modern apartments
Well, I even got scared once or twice
And last time I walked down your street
There were tears in my eyes
[Verse 6]
Well, now these streets we all know
They help us cry, when we're alone late at night
Don't you love them too?
That where you got your eyes?
[Chorus]
Well, I can't stand what you do
Sometimes I can't stand you
It makes me think about me
How I'm involved with you
But I'm in love with this power that shows through
In your eyes
[Verse 7]
Now, listen, your world
Was always beautiful to me
I'll take the subway to your suburb, sometime
I'll seek out things that must have been magic
To your little girl mind
[Verse 8]
Now as a little girl
You must have been magic
I still get jealous of your first boyfriends, sometimes
And when I walk down your old street
There'll be tears in my eyes
[Break, spoken]
It's a case like this
[Chorus]
I can't stand what you do
Sometimes I can't stand you
It makes me think about me
How I'm involved with you
But I'm in love with this power that shows through
In your eyes
[Verse 9]
So, when you get out of the hospital
Oh, let me back into your life
I can't stand what you do
But I'm in love with your eyes
