LOU REED - Modern Dance lyrics

rate me

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