Why in the World? - Lloyd Cole

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

Whay in the world would I want to do that?

If I was a young and modern guy,

Wouldnt I?

So when did I cease to see the light?

and maybe you were right

Matbe I’m all dried up inside

Maybe I’m not built for these times

Maybe I don’t know how to live

Got a working illusion

In the palm of your hand

Why in the world would you want to lose that?

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

Matbe 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
