Tori Amos - Glory Of The 80s
from the album "To Venus And Back"
from the "Glory Of The 80's" single
I took a taxi from LA to Venus in 1985
I was electromagnetically sucked back into a party going on that night
It was the glory of the 80s with karma drawn up in lines
And two bugle boy modles saying 'baby it's a freebee you sure look
deprived'
I have the story of O in my bucket seat
Of my wanna be Mustang auditioning for reptiles in their Raquel Welsh
campaign
In the glories of the 80s 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,
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 80s 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,
disappear, dissappear
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 call Venus she had a velvet hologram
She said 'my husband ran off with my Sherman but they love me as I am'
In the glories of the 80s I may not have to die
I'll clone myself like that clonde 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
Wish I had you back now
And then when it all seemed clear just then you go and
Disappear, disappear, disappear, disappear
I took a taxi from LA to Venus in 1980-1980-1980-1980-5
