Maybe I should go and live in Amsterdam
|
in a side street in 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 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
|
