The modern world Lyrics by Helicopter Helicopter

2015

[verse 1]
You know the devil is my best friend
We’ll be together until the end
He talks and talks till your spinning
His words announced in the back of my mind
[verse 2]
But together/the drunker we run into town
[?] till the sun went down
He passed out in the moonlight
Sometimes I think he’s a lung for this world
I made a bad mistake and I wound up here
[Chorus]
I’ve been lost in the present
Played the past
I’m here for you forever
But you never last
And you float likе this
In the modern world
[instrumental]
[verse 3]
When thе light finally goes out
And the earth finally spins to a halt
I’ll still think about you
If anybody thinks a thing at all
[verse 4]
That morning it was as if the sun would explode
You stopped to trickle as it burned up the road
Sometimes it takes bravery
Not to stop and take a stand off to fight
[Chorus]
I’ve been lost in the present
Played the past
I’m here for you forever
But you never last
And you float like this
In the modern world
[verse 5]
You know the devil is a liar
You can see the shade dark in his eyes
Hey says please forgive me brother
So I take his hand and lean in as if he was blind
[Chorus]
I’ve been lost in the present
Played the past
I’m here for you forever
But you never last
And you float like this
In the modern world
In the modern world
Yeah we float like this we’ve been lost in the modern world
