Lyrics for Modern Things

Did you fund the boy you meant to destroy Did you feel him? Did you span the world for the red-eyed girl Did you feel her? Well makes me swamped Yeah, makes me sweat Did you feel her? And maybe she cries in the middle of the night Did you feel her? Modern things don't die just stain Modern things don't die just stain Well, say you feel nice to break the ice Are you ready? Now say the word I never heard I'm ready Well, makes me strong, yeah makes me strive When I hear her And maybe she cries in the middle of the night Do you feel her? Try me out, find what I'm all about And we can make some noise Not like the other boys Modern things don't die just stain Did you find the boy you meant to destroy Did you heal him? Did you span the world for the red-eyed girl Did you heal her? Well, makes me strong, yeah makes me fight Do you heal her? And maybe she calls in the middle of the night Do you feel her? Try me out find what I'm all about And we can make some noise not like the other boys And you can hold me tight Yeah, on a motorbike And we can make some noise Yeah we can do this right Modern things Modern things Yeah, modern things Yeah, modern things
