Glory Of The 80s (2008 Album Version)

I took a taxi
From LA to Venus in 1985
I was electromagnetically sucked back
Into the party going on that night
It was the glories of the 80's
With karma drawn up in lines
And two bugle boy models saying
"Baby, it's a freebie you sure look deprived"
I had the 'Story of O' in my bucket seat
And my wanna-be Mustang
Auditioning for reptiles
In their Raquel Welsh campaign
In the glories of the 80's
You said, "I'm not afraid to die"
I said, "I don't find that remotely funny
Even on this space cake high"
And then when it all seemed clear
Just then you go and disappear
Disappear
Silicone party
Barbies to the left and Joan of Arcs to the right
No one feeling insecure we were
All gorge and famous in our last lives
In the glories of the 80's
You said, "The end is nothing to fear"
I said, "Blow the end now baby, who do I gotta shag to get outta here?"
And then when it all seemed clear
Just then you go and disappear, disappear
Sure you're out there orbiting around
Sure you're out there orbiting around
Wish I had you back now
Sure you're out there orbiting around
Sure you're out there orbiting around
Wish I had you back now
I met a drag king called Venus
She had a velvet hologram
She said, 'My husband ran off with my shaman
but they love me as I am"
In the glories of the 80's
I may not have to die
I'll clone myself like that blonde chick that sings Bette Davis Eyes
And then when it all seemed clear
Just then you go and...
Sure you're out there orbiting around
Sure you're out there orbiting around
Wish I had you back now
And when then it all seemed clear
Just then you go and disappear (disappear)
Disappear (disappear)
I took a taxi from LA to Venus in nineteen eighty
1980...
Nineteen eighty...
1985
