Lou Reed - Modern Dance Lyrics
Maybe I should go and live in amsterdamIn a side street near a big canalSpend my evenings in the van gogh museumWhat a dream, van gogh museumMaybe its time to see tangiersA different life-style, some different fearsAnd maybe I should be in edinburghIn a kilt in edinburghDoin a modern danceDoin a modern danceOr maybe I should get a farm in southern franceWhere the winds are wispy and the villagers danceAnd you and I wed sleep beneath a moonMoon in june and sleep till noonAnd maybe you and I could fall in loveRegain the spirit that we once hadYoud let me hold you and touch the nightThat shines so bright, so bright with frightDoin a modern danceDoin a modern danceShit, maybe I could go to yucatanWhere women are women, a mans a manAh, no one confused, ever loses placeWith their place in the human raceMaybe Im not cut out for city lifeThe smell of exhaust, the smell of strifeAnd maybe you dont wanna be a wifeIts not a life being a wifeDoin a modern danceDoin a modern danceSo maybe I should go to tanganyikaWhere the rivers run, down mountains tall and steepOr go to india to study chantsAnd lose romance to a mantras danceI need a guru, I need some lawExplain to me the things we sawWhy it always comes to thisIts all downhill after the first kissMaybe I should move to rotterdamMaybe move to amsterdamI should move to ireland, italy, spainAfghanistan where there is no rainOr maybe I should just learn a modern danceWhere roles are shifting the modern danceYou never touch you dont know who youre withThis week, this month, this time of yearThis week, this month, this time of yearDoin a modern danceYou dont know who youre with modern danceI should move to pakistan, go to afghanistanDance, you dont know who youre withDance, you dont know who youre withModern danceAnd maybe you dont wanna be a wifeIts not life being a wifeDoin a modern danceYou never touch you dont know who youre withDance, modern danceThe roles are shifting danceYou never touch you dont know who youre withDance, modern danceMaybe you dont wanna be a wifeIts not a life being a wife
