Modern Love (Remastered) Lyrics
David Bowie
Lyrics
I don't want to go out
I wont stay in
Get things done
I catch a paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind
But i never wave bye-bye
But i try, i try
There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
I'm lying in the rain
But i never wave bye-bye
But i try, i try
Never gonna fall for
Modern love - walks beside me
Modern love - walks on by
Modern love - gets me to the church on time
Church on time - terrifies me
Church on time - makes me party
Church on time - puts my trust in god and man
God and man - no confessions
God and man - no religion
God and man - don't believe in modern love
It's not really work
It's just the power to charm
I'm still standing in the wind
But i never wave bye bye
But i try, i try
Never gonna fall for
Modern love - walks beside me
Modern love - walks on by
Modern love - gets me to the church on time
Church on time - terrifies me
Church on time - makes me party
Church on time - puts my trust in god and man
God and man - no confessions
God and man - no religion
God and man - don't believe in modern love
Modern love - walks beside me
Modern love - walks on by
Modern love - gets me to the church on time
Church on time - terrifies me
Church on time - makes me party
Church on time - puts my trust in god and man
God and man - no confessions
God and man - no religion
God and man - i don't believe in modern love
Modern love, modern love, modern love, modern love, modern love, modern love
Modern love, modern love, modern love, modern love, modern love, modern love
Modern love - modern love, walks beside me
Modern love - modern love, walks on by
Modern love - modern love, walks beside me
Modern love - modern love, walks on by
Never gonna fall for
Never gonna fall for
