Modern Dance |
| Maybe I should go and live in Amsterdam |
| In a side street near a big canal |
| Spend my evenings in the Van Gogh Museum |
| What a dream, Van Gogh Museum |
| Maybe its time to see Tangiers |
| A different life-style, some different fears |
| And maybe I should be in Edinburgh |
| In a kilt in Edinburgh |
| Doin' a modern dance |
| Doin' a modern dance |
| Or maybe I should get a farm in southern France |
| Where the winds are wispy and the villagers dance |
| And you and I we’d sleep beneath a moon |
| Moon in June and sleep till noon |
| And maybe you and I could fall in love |
| Regain the spirit that we once had |
| You’d let me hold you and touch the night |
| That shines so bright, so bright with fright |
| Doin' a modern dance |
| Doin' a modern dance |
| Shit, maybe I could go to Yucatan |
| Where women are women, a man’s a man |
| Ah, no one confused, ever loses place |
| With their place in the human race |
| Maybe I’m not cut out for city life |
| The smell of exhaust, the smell of strife |
| And maybe you don’t wanna be a wife |
| It’s not a life being a wife |
| Doin' a modern dance |
| Doin' a modern dance |
| So maybe I should go to Tanganyika |
| Where the rivers run, down mountains tall and steep |
| Or go to India to study chants |
| And lose romance to a mantra’s dance |
| I need a guru, I need some law |
| Explain to me the things we saw |
| Why it always comes to this |
| It’s all downhill after the first kiss |
| Maybe I should move to Rotterdam |
| Maybe move to Amsterdam |
| I should move to Ireland, Italy, Spain |
| Afghanistan where there is no rain |
| Or maybe I should just learn a modern dance |
| Where roles are shifting the modern dance |
| You never touch you don’t know who you’re with |
| This week, this month, this time of year |
| This week, this month, this time of year |
| Doin' a modern dance |
| You don’t know who you’re with modern dance |
| I should move to Pakistan, go to Afghanistan |
| Dance, you don’t know who you’re with |
| Dance, you don’t know who you’re with |
| Modern dance |
| And maybe you don’t wanna be a wife |
| It’s not life being a wife |
| Doin' a modern dance |
| You never touch you don’t know who you’re with |
| Dance, modern dance |
| The roles are shifting dance |
| You never touch you don’t know who you’re with |
| Dance, modern dance |
| Maybe you don’t wanna be a wife |
| It’s not a life being a wife |
