Modern Times Lyrics
[Verse]
Let me tell you where, where the sun, where the sun goes
Let me tell you feeling where the boys, where the boys go
Looking for the sun, for your fun on a dark night
Everybody's looking, but it doesn't even feel right
Let me tell you where, where the night, where the night goes
Rising from the ocean every morning in a gold boat
Let me tell you all, where did Ra, where did Ra go
Back into the ocean where the boys, where the boys go
[Pre-Chorus]
Run, run, run, run faster than the fading sun
If you keep on running out of bed just before our love's begun
We can't find the reason for this life
Hyperlove and living, just a part of modern times
[Chorus]
So we're gonna run, babe, we're gonna run
We're just gonna run, babe, we're gonna run
[Verse]
Let me tell you where, where the sun, where the sun goes
Let me tell you feeling where the boys, where the boys go
Looking for the sun, for your fun on a dark night
Everybody's looking, but it doesn't even feel right
Let me tell you where, where the night, where the night goes
Rising from the ocean every morning in a gold boat
Let me tell you all, where did Ra, where did Ra go
Back into the ocean where the boys, where the boys go
[Pre-Chorus]
Run, run, run, run faster than the fading sun
If you keep on running out of bed just before our love's begun
We can't find the reason for this life
Hyperlove and living, just a part of modern times
[Chorus]
So we're gonna run, babe, we're gonna run
We're just gonna run, babe, we're gonna run
(Faster than in modern times)
So we're gonna run, babe, we're gonna run
We're just gonna run, babe, we're gonna run
[Outro]
Just give me a reason, I'm losing faith in modern times
God give me a reason, I'm losing faith in modern times
Just give me a reason, I'm losing faith in modern times
God give me a reason, I'm losing faith in modern times
Just give me a reason, I'm losing faith in modern times
God give me a reason, I'm losing faith in modern times
Just give me a reason, I'm losing faith in modern times
God give me a reason, I'm losing faith in modern times
