|
I took a taxi |
|
From LA to Venus in 1985 |
|
I was electromagnetically sucked back |
|
Into the party going on that night |
|
And it was the glory of the 80's |
|
With karma drawn up in lines |
|
And two bugle boy models saying |
|
"Baby, it's a freebie you sure look deprived' |
|
I had the Story of O in my bucket seat |
|
And my wanna be Mustang |
|
Auditioning for reptile |
|
In their Raquel Welsh campaign |
|
In the glories of the 80's |
|
You said, "I'm not afraid to die" |
|
I said, "I don't find that remotely funny |
|
Even on this space cake high" |
|
And then when it all seemed clear |
|
Just then you go and disappear, disappear |
|
Silicone party, Barbies to the left |
|
And Joan of Arcs to the right |
|
No one feeling insecure we were |
|
All gorge and famous in our last lives |
|
In the glories of the 80's |
|
You said, 'The end is nothing to fear' |
|
I said, "Blow the end, now, baby |
|
Who do I gotta shag to get outta here" |
|
And then when it all seemed clear |
|
Just then you go and disappear, disappear |
|
Sure you're out there orbiting around |
|
Sure you're out there orbiting around |
|
Wish I had you back now |
|
Sure you're out there orbiting around |
|
Sure you're out there orbiting around |
|
Wish I had you back now |
|
I met a drag king called Venus |
|
She had a velvet hologram |
|
She said, 'My husband ran off with my shaman |
|
But they love me as I am" |
|
In the glories of the 80's |
|
I may not have to die |
|
I'll clone myself like that blond chick |
|
That sings Bette Davis Eyes |
|
And then when it all seemed clear |
|
Just then you go and |
|
Sure you're out there orbiting around |
|
Sure you're out there orbiting around |
|
Wish I had you back now |
|
And then when it all seemed clear |
|
Just then you go and disappear, disappear |
|
I took a taxi |
|
From LA to Venus in 1980 |
|
1980, 1980, 1985 |
