Lyrics
I feel alive
In the city
That you like
And wait for the day
To go dreaming
Right by

Oh oh oh oh
Seems so hard not to be free
When you walk
Right beside me

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

I feel alive
In the city
You despise
And wait for the day
When you come
Riding on by

Oh oh oh oh
Seems so hard just to be
If it matters
You complete me, yeah

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

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...

I feel alive
In the city
That you like

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

In the modern world (What?)
In the modern world
I don't feel
No I don't feel
(As long as I've known)
I don't feel bad
(As long as I've known)
Charlene
As long as I've known (Yeah?)
There's no feeling to draw (What?)
You may be the reason
But I am the law
I don't feel bad
