In the eighties, I had a radio.
|
I had a real bad haircut
|
And nowhere to go except AladdinĄŻs Castle and Eckerd Drugs.
|
She had sweat bands, she liked to break dance.
|
She wore a pair of shiny parachute pants.
|
I was geek and she was a superstar.
|
Was it just, was it just, was it just too much to ask?
|
Worlds were in the space between us.
|
I guess I shouldĄŻve made a sacrifice
|
Or tried to meet her set of standards.
|
I had a pretty good collection of Masters of the Universe.
|
I had Boba Fett and Greedo and I was pushing seventeen.
|
She had tapes of Chaka Khan and Kenny Loggins,
|
She knew how to backwards skate.
|
She had eyes that looked around for the boys
|
Who I had lately grown to hate.
|
At the time I was working on a novel
|
Just another fruitless side distraction.
|
I sometimes wondered what she would think of that
|
What if I had wowed her with some fiction
|
Over wine and crackers by a lakeside?
|
Would she have just stood back up and moonwalked home?
|
was it just too much to ask?
|
Worlds were in the space between us.
|
I guess I shouldĄŻve made a sacrifice
|
Or tried to meet her set of standards.
|
But she didnĄŻt have respect for the Stray Cats,
|
I didnĄŻt have respect for that.
|
RubikĄŻs Cubes were not my style and theyĄŻre still not
|
I was into D&D.

When I look back upon the eighties
|
I never get pissed off at Ronald Reagan.
|
I never paid attention to him back then.
|
But that chick who wore the parachute pants,
|
The one who broke my heart, the one who broke danced.
|
I just hope that one day weĄŻll meet again.
|
IĄŻm not sure, IĄŻm not sure, IĄŻm not sure, no IĄŻm not sure.
|
IĄŻm not sure what I would do,
|
IĄŻm not sure if even matters
|
Because I know wherever she is
|
SheĄŻs got something stuck up in her ass
|
And the closer to the shore that my ship gets
|
She can only, she can only, she can only eat herself alive
|
Eat herself alive.
