Modern Dance
Maybe I should go and live in Amsterdamin a side street in a big canalspend my evenings in the Van Gogh Museumwhat a dream, Van Gogh Museum
Maybe its time to see Tangiersa different life-style some different fearsand maybe I should be Edinburghin a kilt in Edinburgh
Doin' a modern dancedoin' a modern dance
Or maybe I should get a farm in Southern Francewhere the winds are wispy and the villagers danceand you and I we'd sleep beneath a moonmoon in June and sleep till noon
And maybe you and I could fall in loveregain the spirit that we once hadyou'd let me hold you and touch the nightthat shines so bright, so bright with fright
Doin' a modern dancedoin' a modern dance
Shit, maybe I could go to Yucatanwhere women are women, a man's a manah, no one confused, ever loses placewith their place in the human race
Maybe I'm not cut out for city lifethe smell of exhaust, the smell of strifeand maybe you don't wanna be a wifeit's not a life being a wife
Doin' a modern dancedoin' a modern dance
So maybe I should go to Tanganyikawhere the rivers run, down mountains tall and steepor go to India to study chantsand lose romance to a mantra's dance
I need a guru, I need some lawexplain to me the things we sawwhy it always comes to thisit's all downhill after the first kiss
Maybe I should move to Rotterdammaybe move to AmsterdamI should move to Ireland, Italy, SpainAfghanistan where there is no rain
Or maybe I should just learn a modern dancewhere roles are shifting the modern danceyou never touch you don't know who you're withthis week, this month, this time of yearthis week, this month, this time of year
