Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I feel alive
In the city
That you like
And wait for the day
To go dreaming
Right by
[PreChorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Seems so hard not to be free
When you walk
Right beside me
[Chorus]
In the modern world
What?
In the modern world
I don't feel anything in the modern world
I don't feel bad, Charlene
Kissing on the corner
Yeah?
Wait for just a minute
What?
Come away with me and Sal, I promise you'll be in it
I don't feel bad
[Verse 2]
I feel alive
In the city
You despise
And wait for the day
When you come
Riding on by
[PreChorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Seems so hard just to be
If it matters
You complete me, yeah
[Chorus]
In the modern world
What?
In the modern world
I don't feel anything in the modern world
I don't feel bad, Charlene
Kissing on the corner
Yeah?
Wait for just a minute
What?
Come away with me and Sal, I promise you'll be in it
I don't feel bad
In the modern world
What?
In the modern world
I don't feel
No, I don't feel
I don't feel bad
[Bridge]
As long as I've known
As long as I've known
As long as I've known
There's no feeling to draw
You may be the reason
But I am the law
The law
As long as I've known
There's no feeling to draw
You may be the reason
But I am the law
The law
[Verse 3]
I feel alive
In the city
That you like
[Chorus]
In the modern world
What?
In the modern world
I don't feel anything in the modern world
I don't feel bad, Charlene
Kissing on the corner
Yeah?
Wait for just a minute
What?
Come away with me and Sal, I promise you'll be in it
So don't feel bad
[Outro]
In the modern world
What?
In the modern world
I don't feel
No, I don't feel
I don't feel bad, Charlene
Yeah
What?
I don't feel bad
