Who's got into that 80's radio?
I've said it for some time now
I said we should set if for some time now
Who's going for that carbon dating now?
I'm feeling so old, so old
But I'm barely a teenager
Years were oversold
But let's not forget the lives of lovers
Late into your life
As life continues on despite
Oh, those licenses to hide
Oh, oh, those licenses to hide
What dynamic could heal the damage
That you did in your life?
And paint the virgins white
Or not quite
What did you learn from early insolence?
The season that never ends
You were deadly and serious
This you could depend on
When will you stop those adolescent trends?
It's funny 'til it can't bend
Then when it breaks it can be funny again
But let's not forget we're also funny
When we get undressed
But darling, you could use just a little less of
Oh, those licenses to hide
Oh, oh, those licenses to hide, oh, oh
I admit and I'll say it now that I love you
I love you
Fears, storms and endless invasions
But I'm here with you
Let's not forget we've all recovered
Plenty of composures
And now it's time for some exposure of
Oh, those licenses to hide
Oh, oh, those licenses to hide
Oh, oh, oh, those licenses to hide
What dynamic could heal the damage
That you did in your life?
And paint the nighttime white
Or not quite
