Man Of The 80’s
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I just wanna drift away and dream of miracles
But can't take my eyes off the road
My antenna must be switched on and on alert
I have to focus and keep my brain at work
Growing up with my eye on the american dream
Marilyn Monroe and James Dean
And I remember the day when Elvis passed away
The King Is Dead, that's what the headlines used to say
Now I know how I used to be blind
My knowledge grows the vision shows
I’ve tried to learn from the highs and the lows
Man of the 80's turns the radio on
Takes him back when they play his favorite songs
Far from the future was a life of the past
Man of the 80's how I wish we could last, ooh
Yes I was a young boy back in '79
FM stations and TV in it's prime
Mother Teresa and her angels won the Nobel prize
Out of the cold war hope began to rise
Berlin wall fell and tears of darkness dried in the sun
No more hiding no more on the run
Now it's out of fashion the predictions of our fall
Millennium supposed to be the end of us all
And so I raise another glass of wine
And drink to life I'll take the strife
I'm still ready to push and go
Man of the 80's with his dream specs on
Chasing shadows long dead and gone
He might look rusty but he still feels like new
Man of the 80's my heart is you, ooh
We fought the winds that blew
Through all the years that flew away
Oh how I wanna stay
Man of the 80's in the same old shoes
Reading the future and the same old news
Turning pages in the chapter he belongs
Man of the 80's still coming on strong
Yeah, man of the 80's
Ooh, man of the 80's, man of the 80's, ooh
Hey, man of the 80's, man of the 80's, aahh
Feel the fire so true we're like one we two
Man of the 80's it's me and you
