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
