about

This track was almost totally improvised. We wrote the first four lines, then went to demo the song quickly, and the whole song came out, lyrics, chorus, bridge . . . What you hear is what came out then, plus lots of overdubs.

lyrics

What if we never spoke but only sung in 80's songs
What would the world be like if we put the heart where the soul belonged
No more useless conversation only phrases
Go tell all the adults to stop acting their ages

I think I would go outside and go to the store and buy some bread
I go to the bank and I cash my checks
I go to the post office for some f!@king stamps
And when I was done, I would rock, yeah

What do you do when you see a pretty lady after the show
You say let's rock girl let's go crazy
You get inside your f!@king Testarosa
You say hey baby come and get a little closer

It may sound like I'm singing to a big crowd
But this is my life every day, I live it loud
I live it loud and on the edge and oh so f!@king crazy
But this is what is was like living in the 80's

Let's rock do you party
Hey girl, where you been
It's getting late, after party
Jump into my Mercedes Benz
Life gets so loud it gets so proud it gets so lazy
Every day is a party when you're living in the 80's

Whiskey club, friday night
Hey baby do you feel alright
You brought your girlfriends I brought some blow
What you doing after the show

They say I waste my time but I must admit it sure was fun
You'll need an ambulance to drive you home when I am done

(Repeat Chorus)
