Maybe I should go and live in Amsterdam
  in a side street near a big canal
  spend my evenings in the Van Gogh Museum
  what a dream, Van Gogh Museum
  
  Maybe its time to see Tangiers
  a different life-style, some different fears
  and maybe I should be in Edinburgh
  in a kilt in Edinburgh
  
  Doin' a modern dance
  doin' a modern dance
  
  Or maybe I should get a farm in southern France
  where the winds are wispy and the villagers dance
  and you and I we'd sleep beneath a moon
  moon in June and sleep till noon
  
  And maybe you and I could fall in love
  regain the spirit that we once had
  you'd let me hold you and touch the night
  that shines so bright, so bright with fright
  
  Doin' a modern dance
  doin' a modern dance
  
  Shit, maybe I could go to Yucatan
  where women are women, a man's a man
  ah, no one confused, ever loses place
  with their place in the human race
  
  Maybe I'm not cut out for city life
  the smell of exhaust, the smell of strife
  and maybe you don't wanna be a wife
  it's not a life being a wife
  
  Doin' a modern dance
  doin' a modern dance
  
  So maybe I should go to Tanganyika
  where the rivers run, down mountains tall and steep
  or go to India to study chants
  and lose romance to a mantra's dance
  
  I need a guru, I need some law
  explain to me the things we saw
  why it always comes to this
  it's all downhill after the first kiss
  
  Maybe I should move to Rotterdam
  maybe move to Amsterdam
  I should move to Ireland, Italy, Spain
  Afghanistan where there is no rain
  
  Or maybe I should just learn a modern dance
  where roles are shifting the modern dance
  you never touch you don't know who you're with
  this week, this month, this time of year
  this week, this month, this time of year
  
  Doin' a modern dance
  you don't know who you're with modern dance
  I should move to Pakistan, go to Afghanistan
  Dance, you don't know who you're with
  dance, you don't know who you're with
  modern dance
  And maybe you don't wanna be a wife
  it's not life being a wife
  doin' a modern dance
  you never touch you don't know who you're with
  Dance, modern dance
  the roles are shifting dance
  you never touch you don't know who you're with
  Dance, modern dance
  maybe you don't wanna be a wife
  it's not a life being a wife
