Wandering The Streets Of Modern America Lyrics & Chords By Wendy Wall

Yeah
Yeah

There it was near nightfall
I asked a passer-by for the time
And she said 'late twentieth century'
Sirens sang like catcalls
The moon was paled by neon light
Oh, and I guess she was right

Cars were whizzing past me
With boomin' jungle beat radios
And headlights cut the dusk like switchblades
Lover's eyes like fireflies
In feather-fingered evening chill
Oh, I can feel it still

Wanderin' the streets of modern America
Wanderin' the streets of modern America

Yeah

A dark-haired woman dancing
Multi-colored skirt in the wind
Music came through an open window
Oh I saw your eyes then
Someone's camera caught her spin
Love was like a second skin

Traffic lights were changing
Stop and go a pulse and a flow of thousands of life stories
Hungry eyes like fireflies
like spirits you could pass right through
Oh, but I remember you

Wanderin' the streets of modern America
Wanderin' the streets of modern America

Yeah

[ bridge ]

The modern world is changing
Every day grows stranger to me
In this world that we were born to
Half of what it should be
Like a bird with broken wing
Oh, but you made it sing

Wanderin' the streets of modern America
Wanderin' the streets of modern America

Like a bird with broken wing
Oh, but you made it sing
