[Verse 1]
Somewhere between the darkness and light
The faces all glow but it's not too bright
Civilization, it's all about knives and forks
Isn't she here? What time is it now?
Is this the right place? Do I fit with her crowd?
I'm gonna be a civilized man someday
[Verse 2]
Part of me wants to jump and shout
Part of me wants to tear it down
I thought you might prefer the cabernet
Civilization, it's all about sex
Havin' a ball in a padded banquet
I'm gonna be that really cool guy someday
[Verse 3]
The waiter looks me over
"Would you like cream or sugar?"
I don't know, what was I supposed to say?
She wonders if I'll notice
I should have brought some roses
Her plate is full, she hasn't eaten all day
Glasses collect, we order some booze
She looks at me, I stare at her shoes
Mature situations, maybe a broken heart
