Modern World lyrics
Song information
Artist: John Cale Album: Last Day On Earth
Lyrics
In the shadows of the night come the friends of fantasy dancing forward toward The dawn, wrapped in coats of vanity. in the closets in the home hang the toasts Of days gone by, breaking every haunted scheme confusing thoughts with fantasy This is the modern world, this is the modern world, this is the modern world
In the backrooms where they wait, keeping time so patiently, playing cards and Casting lots, sit the last of judgement's [all]? in their confusion to deceive They miss the point so handily, filling every secret need. they succeed perfectly This is the modern world, this is the modern world, this is the modern world
