I feel alive 
 In the city 
 That you like 
 And wait for the day 
 To go dreaming 
 Right by 
 Uh-huh-huh-huh 
 Seems so hard not to be free 
 When you walk 
 Right beside me 
    In the modern world (what?) 
 In the modern world 
 I don't feel anything 
 In the modern world 
 And I don't feel bad, Charlene 
 Kissing on the corner (yeah?) 
 Wait for just a minute (what?) 
 Come away with me and Sal 
 I promise you'll be in it 
 I don't feel bad   
 I feel alive 
 In the city 
 You despise 
 And wait for the day 
 When you come 
 Riding on by 
 Uh-huh-huh-huh 
 Seems so hard just to be 
 If it matters 
 You complete me 
 Yeah   
 In the modern world (what?) 
 In the modern world 
 I don't feel anything 
 In the modern world 
 I don't feel bad, Charlene 
 Kissing on the corner (yeah?) 
 Wait for just a minute (what?) 
 Come away with me and Sal 
 I promise you'll be in it 
 I don't feel bad 
 In the modern world (what?) 
 In the modern world 
 I don't feel no, I don't feel 
 I don't feel bad   
 As long as I've known 
 As long as I've known 
 As long as I've known 
 There's no feeling to draw 
 You may be the reason 
 But I am the law 
 The law   
 As long as I've known 
 There's no feeling to draw 
 You may be the reason 
 But I am the law 
 The law   
 I feel alive 
 In the city 
 That you like   
 In the modern world (what?) 
 In the modern world 
 I don't feel anything 
 In the modern world 
 And I don't feel bad, Charlene 
 Kissing on the corner (yeah?) 
 Wait for just a minute (what?) 
 Come away with me and Sal 
 I promise you'll be in it 
 So don't feel bad   
 In the modern world (what?) 
 In the modern world 
 I don't feel 
 No I don't feel 
 (As long as I've known) 
 I don't feel bad 
 (As long as I've known) 
 Charlene 
 As long as I've known (yeah?) 
 There's no feeling to draw (what?) 
 You may be the reason 
 But I am the law 
 I don't feel bad
