Ah the 80s
It was a big movie show
Between Ghostbusters
And "Back to the Future" I would go
David Bowie singing
The world in a trance
And me an alien
Slipping in by chance
Atari pixels dancing
Across the screen
Hours of play
Lost in the scene
The Goonies chased treasure
On their quest
While I searched for my way
Never finding rest
Toys came alive
Everything would move
But me I was stuck
With nothing to prove
TV shows music
It all felt magic
But in my mind
Things stayed static
Ah the 80s
It was a big movie show
Between Ghostbusters
And "Back to the Future" I would go
David Bowie singing
The world in a trance
And me an alien
Slipping in by chance
I remember the 80s
Neon lights everywhere
Headphones on
Music in the air
Michael Jackson
His moves so slick
The world was spinning
It felt electric
Kids on skateboards
Racing the streets
I watched them roll
Felt out of beat
Rubik's Cube twisting
In my hands a mystery
The future was theirs
I just wandered feeling history
Ah the 80s
It was a big movie show
Between Ghostbusters
And "Back to the Future" I would go
David Bowie singing
The world in a trance
And me an alien
Slipping in by chance
Atari pixels dancing
Across the screen
Hours of play
Lost in the scene
The Goonies chased treasure
On their quest
While I searched for my way
Never finding rest
Toys came alive
Everything would move
But me I was stuck
With nothing to prove
TV shows music
It all felt magic
But in my mind
Things stayed static
Ah the 80s
It was a big movie show
Between Ghostbusters
And "Back to the Future" I would go
David Bowie singing
The world in a trance
And me an alien
Slipping in by chance
"Sweet Dreams" by Eurythmics
Filled the air
Guitars played
Lights everywhere
Nights ended
Under starry skies
And I dreamed of leaving
To fly up high
Ah the 80s
It was a big movie show
Between Ghostbusters
And "Back to the Future" I would go
David Bowie singing
The world in a trance
And me an alien
Slipping in by chance
