Lloyd Cole - Why In The World? lyrics

Beam in to the future From the palm of your hand Why in the world would you want to do that? Ride out to the station Stare out into space Why in the world would I want to do that? So, if I was a young and modern guy, Wasn't I? So when did I cease to see the light? and maybe you were right Maybe I'm all dried up inside Maybe I'm not built for these times Maybe I don't know how to live You've got a working illusion In the palm of your hand Why in the world would you want to lose that? I clung on to believing Just as long as I could How in the world could you fail to see that? Hasta luego modern guy When did I cease to see the light? and maybe you were right Maybe I'm all dried up inside Maybe I'm not built for these times Maybe I don't know how to live Maybe I don't know how to live
