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 its time to see Tangiers
A different life-style, some different fears
And maybe I should be in 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

[Verse 10]
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
It´s not a life being a wife
