Man of the 80’s Songtext
von Jorn

I just wanna drift away and dream of miracles but can′t take my eyes of the road
My antenna must be switched on and on alert (on alert)
I have to focus and keep my brain at work
Groing 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
My vision shows
I tried to learn from the highs and the lows

Man of the 80′s turns the radio on
Takes him back when the play his favorite 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 tiars 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 fells like new
Man of the 80′s my heart is you
Oh Oh

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
