I took a taxi
From LA to Venus in 1985
I was electromagnetically
sucked back
Into the party going on that night
And it was the glory 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 wannabe Mustang
Auditioning for reptile
In their Raquel Welch 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 blond 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 then when it all seemed clear
Just then you go and disappear, disappear
I took a taxi
