Lyrics
The Very Modern Dance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Screwed on the chemical floors of the Dance World,
now you see why I'll always be a dancer.
Plucked by the transcendental brats to the Trance World,
but desertscapes on the face of a girl were not the answer...
And we are not the answer.
We are not the answer.
No, we are not the answer.
No, don't worry my dear, nothing's been sold.
It's just a Golden Bridge I'm burning whose fire is the real gold.
No, don't worry my dear, nothing's been sold.
It's just a Golden Bridge I'm burning whose fire is the real goal,
fire is the real goal...
So, there'll be moonlight over Michelle tonight,
and another west coast morning.
Fuck it, I'm warning
you can look you can touch but, no, not that much.
What's one more police action when I'm cancelling the truce again!?!
