Modern Times lyrics

are you an alien
are you from this earth
would you care to tell me
details of birth
did you just emerge from thin air
can you even tell me
are you really there
jet age dreams
from days gone by
the circle in te forest
where they dnced beneath the sky
...beneath the sky...
beneath the sky

do you know my thoughts
can you read my mind
would you dare to tell me
what it is you find

Jane, you say it's all over
For you and me girl
There's a time for love
And a time for lettin' it be baby

Jane, you're playin' a game called
Called hard to get by its real name
Makin' believe that you just don't feel the same
Oh Jane

Jane, you're playin' a game
You never can win girl
You're stayin' away so I ask you
Where you been, baby?

Like a cat and a mouse (cat and a mouse)

her mamma don't like it
there's not a lot that she can do
her daddy don't like it
she's stayin' out till after two

she likes to go her own way
wild, reckless and bold
you can't hold her down boy
with diamond ring or fools gold

CHORUS
she's free so free
free free free runnin' like a wild child
free free free you kinda gotta like her style

Mary, I'll love her all my life
but she'll never be my wife
she broke my heart - broke my trust
now I can't believe that she's seriuos

I love her, but I will never marry Mary
never marry Mary...

restless and wild - she runs away
comes back and tells me she's here to stay
tried to give her time but she wanted more
now I just don't feel like I did before

when I was a young boy I drove my mother crazy
when I was a young man I drove my teachers wild
oh whoa oh whoa nobody to con-trol me
oh whoa modern lover I need you near me

CHORUS
never want to leave ya
never want to leave ya
never want to leave ya
no no no no no

reality anonymous is comin' after me
they want me shakin' they want me screamin'

go on out and gain the world
but don't you lose your soul
while you're trying
your truth is changing every day
but your heart will let you
know when you're lying
well, you're running
running from me now
running like you've got a race to win
now you tell me our romance is over
time for you to start again

CHORUS
save your love and tenderness
don't get lost in bitterness

whatcha gonna do about Cleveland?
whatcha gonna do about rock roll?
whatcha gonna do about crazy crazy?
whatcha gonna do about it?

hey we gotta a new band - a new face - a new time!
sing a song of rock roll drive us all crazy
people tell me everything I need to know about
rock roll
politics n' all about our new band

Raindrops falling
Winter feels so gloomy
Hear a knock upon my door
Stranger calling
Eyes that look like mine
He said you know I've called before

CHORUS
What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown

Familiar stranger
Should I know your name
Did we meet some time ago
I feel uncertain
Shadows whisper to me now
Sudden wind begins to blow

REPEAT CHORUS

I got a girl with her eyes wide open
her vision pierces the sky
her name is Angel 'n' she's just like a raven
wild eyes

no one can tell me no no nobody knows
where she comes from or where she goes
such a dangerous girl with her dreams intact
wild eyes

CHORUS
now now angel
now now wild eyes
now now angel
now now wild eyes

off the planet and across your brains
