Modern Lyrics

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....

Babylon's strange, seventh wonder of the earth :

gardens ablaze in colour, slowly rotting in the dirt

and, with your head on fire, you can't really see.

The hanging gardens sing,

but with a hollow ring :

the life is false, its killing me....

Don't look back, or you'll turn to stone;

look around before your life is overgrown

with concrete slabs!Hammill Peter - Modern - http://motolyrics.com/hammill-peter/modern-lyrics.html

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....

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
