Man Of The 80's

(专辑： Life On Death Road - 2017)

I just wanna drift away and dream of miracles
But can't take my eyes off the road
My antenna must be switched on, and on alert
I have to focus and keep my brain at work

Growing up with my eye on the Americam Dream
Marilyn Monroe and James Dean
And I remember the day when Elvis passed away
"The king is dead" that's what the headlines used to say
Now I know how I used to be blind

My knowledge grows, the vision shows
I've tried to learn from the highs and the lows

Man of the '80s turns the radio on
Takes him back when they play his favourite songs
Far from the future was a life of the past
Man of the '80s
I wish we could last

Yes, I was a young boy back in '79
FM stations and TV in it's prime
Mother Teresa and her angels won the Nobel Prize
Out of the Cold War hope began to rise

Berlin Wall fell and tears of darkness dried in the sun
No more hiding, no more on the run
Now it's out of fashion the predictions of our fall
Millenium supposed to be the end of us all

And so I raise another glass of wine
And drink to life
I'll take the strife
I'm still ready to push and go

Man of the '80s with his dream specs on
Chasing shadows long dead and gone
He might look rusty, but he still feels like new
Man of the '80s
My heart is you

We fought the winds that blew
Through all the years that flew away

Man of the '80s in the same old shoes
Reading the future and the same old news
Turning pages in the chapter he belongs
Man of the '80s
Still coming on strong

Man of the '80s
Man of the '80s
Man of the '80s

Hey...

Man of the '80s
Man of the '80s

Feel the fire so true
We're like one, we two

Man of the '80s
It's me and you
