Lyrics 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
Why in the world would I want to do that?

So I was a young and modern guy
Wasn't It?
So when did I cease to see the light?
Maybe you were right
Maybe 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?

I clung on to believing
Just as long as I could
How in the world could you fail to see that?

Hasta luego, modern guy
So when did I cease to see the light?
Maybe you were right
Maybe 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
