Why In The World? Lyrics & Chords By 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, if I was a young and modern guy,
Wasn't I?
So when did I cease to see the light?
and 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

You've 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
When did I cease to see the light?
and 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
