"What I enjoy most about being on stage is that the natural instruments give you a greater freedom with texture. When you use natural instruments they have their own resonance."John Cale

C
In the shadows of the night
G
Come the friends of fantasy
C
Dancing forward toward the dawn
G
Wrapped in coats of vanity
In the closets in the home
Hang the toasts of days gone by
Breaking every haunted scheme
Confusing thoughts with fantasy
C
This is the modern world
G
This is the modern world
F
This is the modern world
G | G | G | G | C | C | C | G | G | G | G | C | C | C | G | G
In the backrooms where they wait
Keeping time so patiently
Playing cards and casting lots
Sit the last of judgement's hall
In their confusion to deceive
They miss the point so handily
Filling every secret need
They succeed perfectly
This is the modern world
This is the modern world
This is the modern world
