Lyrics

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 wanna be Mustang
 Auditioning for reptile
 In their Raquel Welsh 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
 From LA to Venus in 1980
