Saw a girl in a club lastnight
Must've been the queen of some scene
Got the feeling that I'm not her type, well
What's it take to get a girl that clean

She brought me dates with future indie rock star
And I just spent my life savings on a drink
In a town where who you know is what you are
Between me and her our status is a missing link

Be the king of the whole damn scene, ya know
Me and my indie rock queen, oh yeah
I wanna give my love to her
I wanna be her slave
I wanna make her engine run
She'd be my alterna-baby

I stayed on the other side of the room
Any man would've at least said "Hi", but
I'm a boy in a man costume, and
She could tell by the look in my eyes

Let me enter the clique for sure, ya know
Nothing more than my foot through the door, oh yeah
I wanna give my love to her
I wanna be her slave
I wanna make her engine run
She'd be my alterna-baby

She pulls up to the bar
In the right kind of car
Lookin' like an alterni star

Sittin' there with my jaw on the floor
Like a kid at a high school dance
Maybe she'd dig me if I was Thurston Moore, but
For the moment I'm just a kid in a trance
In a trance
Just a kid in a trance
In a trance

I wanna give my love to her
I wanna be her slave
I wanna make that kitten purr
She'd be my alterna-baby
