Man of the 80's (Life on Death Road)

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 American 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 80's turns the radio on

Takes him back when they play his favourite song

Far from the future was a life of the past

Man of the 80's how 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 80's with his dream specs on

Chasing shadows long dead and gone

He might look rusty but he still feels like new

Man of the 80's my heart is you ooh

  

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

Oh how I wanna stay

Man of the 80's in the same old shoes

Reading the future and the same old news

Turning pages in the chapter he belongs

Man of the 80's still coming on strong yeah

Man of the 80's

Man of the 80's

Man of the 80's

Hey Man of the 80's

Man of the 80’s

Feel the fire so true

We're like one we two

Man of the 80's

It's me and you
