Little Golden Age

You lived in a place long, long ago

Where nothing moved and time went slow

And someone sang about a Golden Age

In Cenetaph Park, drinking in the dark

This place was the machine that put the iron in your heart

So we hung around and we hung around

and we hung around for days

In the parking lot stoned, stars shone out of phase

And the rain came down, cassettes wore out, Oh No!

Then you left town feeling pretty down

With your headphones and your coat and

your dirty graduation gown you were

In the bedroom singing radio songs

Sing them loud

Sing them all night, Emily

You need something to help you along

Freeze, freeze, freeze Little Golden Age

I don't miss my Little Golden Age

'Cause the body takes the heart, takes the heart

around from place to place

And this place still stands, this place remains unchanged

And you can't go back

Oh, who would want to anyway

You were in the bedroom singing radio songs

Sing them loud

Sing them all night, Emily

You needed something to help you along

My Little Golden Age
