Modern Love

David Bowie

I know when to go out

And when to 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


Modern love, modern love

Modern love, modern love, walks beside me

Modern love, modern love, walks on by
