Modern Dance - Lou Reed (娄.里德)

Written by：Lou Reed

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 it's time to see tangiers

A different life style some different fears

And maybe I should be in edinburgh

In a kilt in edinburgh

Doing a modern dance

Doing 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 wed 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

Doing a modern dance

Doing a modern dance

Sh*t maybe I could go to yucatan

Where women are women a mans 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

Its not a life being a wife

Doing a modern dance

Doing 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 mantras dance

I need a guru I need some law

Explain to me the things we saw

Why it always comes to this

Its 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

Doing 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

Its not life being a wife

Doing 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
