I've these dreams of walking home
Home where it used to be
And everything is as it was
Frozen in front of me
Here I stand 6 feet small
Romanticizing years ago
But it's a bitter sweet feeling hearing
Wrapped around your finger on the radio
And these days
I wish I was 6 again
Oh make me a red cape
I wanna be Superman
Oh, if only my life was more like 1983
All these things would be more like
They were at the start of me
Had it made in 83
Thinking bout my brother Ben
I miss him every day
He looks just like his brother John
But on an 18 month delay
Here I stand 6 feet small
And smiling cause I'm scared as hell
Kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie
Where the actor's names have changed, oh well
Well these days
I wish I was 6 again
Oh make me a red cape
I wanna be Superman
Oh, if only my life was more like 1983
All these things would be more like
They were at the start of me
If my life was more like 1983
Plot a course to the source of the purest little part of me
And most of my memories
Have escaped me or confused themselves with dreams
If heaven's all we want it to be
Send your prayers to me, care of 1983
You can paint that house a rainbow of colors
Rip out the floorboards replace the shutters
But that's my plastic in the dirt
Whatever happened to my, whatever happened to my
Whatever happened to my lunch box
When came the day that it got thrown away
And don't you think I should have had some say in that decision
If only my life, if only my life
If only my life, if only my life
If only my life, if only my life

When we were kids, our dreams were invincible,
When we were young, our whole lives ahead of us,
And it was well understood we'd all become astronauts,
And firemen,
Let's not pretend, we all become famous,
Let's not pretend, there's more to this then we hoped for,
For we knew the rules when we were still children,
You blow it,
You fail it,
Disappointment.
It's well on it's way, well understood,
And you have a place, to be (when we were young),
Time on our hands,
Still out of our hands, just like rain (it rained so hard),
Time ran away, and left us afraid,
Your parents are proud,
You've got everything,
No passion at hand,
You'll be Ivy League,
It's more probable,
We all become salesmen,
You know it,
You fear it,
Mediocrity.
It's well on it's way, well understood,
And this is your life,
Don't apoligize for what you are,
Because you're a star.
I hope you find contentment,
I pray you find an answer,
'cause life is better than your occupation,
Revelation.
When we (when we were young) were,
Time on our hands,
Still out of our hands,
Just like rain (it rained so hard)

Summer days 15 years old
Rodney’s on the radio
The RTD and a pack of cloves
Oh Oh oo Oh oo Oh Oh Oh
And girls in death rock pantyhose
Junes are cloudy in L.A.
All the city’s shades of gray
The air is warm with ocean spray
Oh Oh oo Oh oo Oh Oh Oh
And morning seems to last all day
And if I should die
In the meantime
Take me home
To those days
When the world
Still really shone
Come on Baby ride with me
We’ll take the bus down to the sea
Go swimming in the morning light
Oh Oh oo Oh oo Oh Oh Oh
And lose the memories of last night

Goonies never say die!
Shouting at the devil!
And 99 hot air balloons!
Unknown to you, what planet are you from?
Maiden had the trooper, Ramones had psycho therapy
While Bryan, he just cuts like a knife,
Do you remember E.T. trying to phone home
While Ronald introduced MC Nuggets to the whole wide world...
I just can't explain, how it feels to live in 1983
Yeah, I wonder who's to blame, for MTV, the goonies and atari!
Slayer showed no mercy
While Bad Religion went 'into the unknown'.
And Bowie wanted to dance...
Michael thrilled the planet and Chesney Hawkes,
I loved that guy, I'm telling you 'he was the one and only'!
Sweet Dreams were made of this,
I'll hold a special place when ZZ TOP
Were sharp dressed men and begging us for love...
I just can't explain, how it feels to live in 1983
Yeah, I wonder who's to blame, for MTV, the goonies and atari!
I think we're alone now... tonight...
I don't wanna go home now... not tonight...
We had Bronski Beat and Megadeth,
Run DMC began to rap
And John Bon Jovi started up a band
Metallica had 'kill 'em all'
Exploited sang 'let's start a war'
And Sting was counting 'every breath you took'...

How come all the bands forget
The days when music was a threat?
Why can't it be '83?
So many bands I wanna see
Misfits put out Earth AD
And Bad Brains still banned in DC?
People just don't understand
There's nothing like the 80's man

Son las seis
sale el sol detrás del vidrio
y las calles ya se llenan
sin mirar lo puedo ver
es tu cara son tus ojos
ya no encuentras la salida
Te sientes sola en esta realidad
bajo, bajo, bajo las horas
que te quitan para amar
Y nos dijeron que mejorará
No hay final es la verdad
sólo tú púedes cambiar
esta vidad que te mata
Te sientes sola
bajo las horas
Y nos dijeron que mejorará
al menos debes saber
tu vidad vale mucho más en mí
Muchos más están así
ya no creas en la historia
que nos cuentan cada día
Te despierta el matinal
todo el día trabajar
y te duermes con un estelar
Te sientes sola
bajo las horas
Y nos dijeron que mejorará
al menos debes saber
tu vida vale mucho más en mí
Al menos debes saber
ya no hay duda
tu vida vale mucho más en mí (x3)

I've been here,
Lookin' dynamite
Alone against the wall
Girls like you give it out so cold
Talkin' cheap in a bathroom stall.
And you look so smooth,
You better tell me the truth,
Would you trade me out for someone cool?
I know you better than you do,
So put out your cigarette
And kiss me on the lips tonight.
Me and you,
You and me,
Let's go back
Let's go back
1983 is calling.
I've been on my knees and crawling
Back to you,
It's coming all back to me.
1983
I've got somethin' that I've kept inside,
And the blood is on the blade.
You're there suckin' on your lollipop,
Like you haven't aged a day,
And it ain't so pretty
When you're playin' cute
When your body's up against some fool.
Does he feel it?
'Cuase I feel it.
Me and you,
You and me,
Let's go back
Let's go back
1983 is calling
I've been on my knees and crawling
Back to you
It's coming all back to me
1983
The year I was born,
I won't be ignored.
So get your feet on the floor
I'm the only one, are you afraid?
I still make you move.
Me and you
You and me
Let's go back to 1983
Me and you
You and me
Let's go back to 1983
Me and you,
You and me,
Let's go back
Let's go back
1983 is calling
I've been on my knees and crawling
Back to you
It's coming all back to me
1983
Me and you,
You and me,
Let's go back
Let's go back
1983 is calling
I've been on my knees and crawling
Back to you
It's coming all back to me
1983
