|
You, you used to rock me |
|
In your acid-wash jeans in 1983 |
|
You, with your big hair |
|
Girls would throw you their underwear |
|
I was only old enough to stare |
|
And wish you were mine |
|
Well, you (you) were my rock 'n' roll dream |
|
Staring back at me from every magazine |
|
I was in love with your hair spray |
|
Your spandex and rebel ways! |
|
I just couldn't wait to see you play |
|
But just look at you today |
|
[Chorus] |
|
My 80's rock star |
|
They wonder where you are |
|
Wish you were here with me |
|
Instead of on the streets |
|
My 80's rock star |
|
They thought you'd go real far |
|
My 80's rock star |
|
Oh, you (you) you'd made & lost your fortune |
|
By the time your second album came and fell |
|
Spent it all on your fast drugs, your fast girls, your fast cars |
|
When the 90's came, you sold your last guitar |
|
[Chorus] |
|
They thought you'd go real far |
|
But you're washed out, and you're lonely, and you're tired |
|
And there's not much left to you to admire |
|
And you gave the world everything you had |
|
And were left with nothing, now how about that? |
|
My 80's rock star |
|
They wonder where you are |
|
Well now you're here with me |
|
Instead of on the streets |
|
My 80's rock star |
|
They thought you'd go real far |
|
My 80's rock star |
|
They wonder where you are |
|
Well now you're here with me |
|
Instead of on the streets |
|
My 80's rock star |
|
They thought you'd go real far |
|
Yeah! |
