Wendy Wall - Wandering the Streets of Modern America lyrics

Yeah Yeah There it was near nightfall I asked a pa**er-by for the time And she said 'late twentieth century' Sirens sang like catcalls The moon was paled by neon light Oh, and I guess she was right Cars were whizzing past me With boomin' jungle beat radios And headlights cut the dusk like switchblades Lover's eyes like fireflies In feather-fingered evening chill Oh, I can feel it still Wanderin' the streets of modern America Wanderin' the streets of modern America Yeah A dark-haired woman dancing Multi-colored skirt in the wind Music came through an open window Oh I saw your eyes then Someone's camera caught her spin Love was like a second skin Traffic lights were changing Stop and go a pulse and a flow of thousands of life stories Hungry eyes like fireflies like spirits you could pa** right through Oh, but I remember you Wanderin' the streets of modern America Wanderin' the streets of modern America Yeah [ bridge ] The modern world is changing Every day grows stranger to me In this world that we were born to Half of what it should be Like a bird with broken wing Oh, but you made it sing Wanderin' the streets of modern America Wanderin' the streets of modern America Like a bird with broken wing Oh, but you made it sing All Lyrics Copyright Wendy Wall All Rights Reserved
