lyrics

You were born in 1985
You don´t remember when the astronauts died
Hairspray fumes could have burned us alive
Lighting it up in 1985

You were born in 1985
You don´t remember when the astronauts died
Hairspray fumes could have burned us alive
Lighting it up in 1985

Fingers round the spiral cord
Talking till our feet were bored
Blinking out the neon light
Blowing out the candlelight
In your boyfriend´s car you spent the night
in 1985

Did we miss anything at all?
Drawing with crayons on the wall.
Berlin was going to fall,
The iron curtain´s final call.
And all we wanted was ice cream at the mall
in 1985.

And there were cigarettes and promises
Popsicles and mortgages
Shunning weirdoes and the queens
Wearing wigs behind the scenes
Living all our capitalist dreams
In 1985...
