Modern Dancing

Good love's a prison, but it could never hold me You break your own heart, my mother told me And this was never the time for your gentleman call Don't tell me that it's your first time around Nobody ever gets used to the sound You know this city was built for the wrecking ball I hope you know what you're doing You don't know what you're asking I've got a romance with ruin, and we're only Modern dancing Baby, you know it's no difference to me You've been the same throughout history It's a different face, but it's always the same set of eyes There's time for everything runnin' its course You know I've been a whore and a soldier of fortune And no matter which way you play, it's all secrets and lies I hope you know what you're doing You don't know what you're asking I've got a romance with ruin, and we're only Modern dancing Star-crossed and ridin' on Heaven's horses I've had enough of these cosmic divorces You know in the end that we only end up on our own Still I'm in love with what's falling apart And this just seems like another false start And it's not for lack of trying It's just that I can't seem to get it going I hope you know what you're doing You don't know what you're asking I've got a romance with ruin, and we're only Modern dancing Modern dancing Modern dancing Modern dancing Modern dancing
