New Age (Early Version) Lyrics

Waiting for the phone to ring
diamond necklace on my shoulder
Putting all the things away
lipstick on my neck and shoulder

It was just my fancy
to go make it with Frank and Nancy when

Over the bridge we go
looking for love
Over the bridge we go
looking for love

I'll come running to you
hey baby, if you want me
I'll come running to you
baby, if you want me

Calculating all the odds
took the gun from off his shoulder
Waiting for the bell to ring
hands of ivory on my shoulder

(Alt.: Looking at my hands today
looked to me that they're made of ivory
Had a funny call today
someone died and someone's married)

It seems to be my fancy
to go make it with Frank and Nancy when

Over the bridge we go
looking for love
Over the bridge we go
looking for love

I'll come running to you
baby, if you want me
I'll come running to you
baby, if you want me

Something's got a hold on me
and I don't know what
Something's got a hold on me
and I don't know what

It's the beginning of a new age
It's the beginning of the new age
It's the beginning of a new age
It's the beginning of the new age
It's the beginning of a new age
It's the beginning of the new age
It's the beginning of a new age
It's the beginning of the new age

(Transcribed from Bootleg Series Vol. 1: The Quine Tapes; Alternate verse taken from Live 1969 Vol. 1)
