So long war 
Rock 'n' roll has not been heard before 
In their long black cars 
Technicolor movies for the stars 
I wish I'd learned to dance the way my parents dance 
It seems I always try to lead the man '
Cause I can 
I wish that 
I was 25 back then 
London's high 
Marianne is faithful to the sky 
And a brand new beat 
Floating from a room across the street 
It wasn't only 
Armstrong up there on the moon 
It seemed everybody's head was in the sky 
Sometimes 
I I wish that 
I was 25 back then 
What I need is 
Jean Picard 
To teach my how to fly 
Get to meet whatever's up there 
Watching from the sky 
Bring back a new cigarette 
That doesn't make you die 
Don't want a super highway 
Just want a super high 
Sometime I 
I wish that 
I was 25 back then 
And the world moves on
