I started feeling blue Back in 1972 Barefoot in the street I had patches on my jeans And high up in the hills They were nodding out on pills and booze A? odawful sad affair? And the lights were there to thrill you My oh my We live from time to time And day by day It? the modern way Look at me I? speeding through Self obsessive Just like you We can smile Oh yeah we can smile 1984 And school was out for summer I was hot for teacher Well you should have seen our double feature Started feeling fine In the winter of 1989 Such an underrated year But it? gone gone gone My oh my We live from time to time And day to day It? the only way I know Look at me I? speeding through A self obsessive just like you We can dance We can dance the days away 1999 It? the end of modern time There? panic in your eyes So if you can? get muscles Then you better get yourself a tan And be a real man Cos the heroes that you worshipped Are all gone gone gone My oh my We live from time to time And day to day It? the modern way Look at me I? speeding through Self obsessed I? just like you We can dance We can dance the night away
