modern – live lyrics
[spoken intro]
this is called modern
[verse 1]
jericho’s strange, throbbing with life at its heart –
people are drawn together, simultaneously torn apart…
foundations are shattered in the city
inside the barricaded doors;
hiding behind their walls, lonely as night falls
maybe the people are waiting for trumpets
[verse 2]
babylon’s strange, seventh wonder of the earth –
gardens ablaze in colour, slowly rotting in the dirt
oh, yes, but with your head on fire, you know that you can’t really see
and the hanging gardеns sing
but with a hollow ring:
the life is false, it’s k!lling mе…
[bridge]
don’t look back or you’ll turn to stone;
look around before your life is overgrown
with concrete slabs
on your back the searching eyes that stab
between chintz curtains, glinting
but never owning to a name…
like the inmates of asylums
all the citizens are contagiously insane…
[interlude]
[verse 3]
atlantis is strange, the explosion of an age –
no-one really knows what to do
and the city is a cage
it traps in ashen hours and concrete towers
imprisons in the social order
the city’s lost its way
madness takes hold today…
i can’t live under water
i can’t live under water
i can’t live under water
i can’t live under water
[instrumental]
[outro]
i can’t live
i can’t live
i can’t live under water
