Glitter Years Lyrics - The Bangles

Denny was workin' it real hard 

Down Sunset Boulevard 

Back in 1973 

Why would he bother going home? 

His parents left him on his own 

Who knows, maybe they were out gettin' stoned 

I don't really know 

How we survived the glitter years? 

What did we do it all for? 

(Aaa) 

Do you remember the glitter years? 

(Aaa) 

(Ooo) 

We were the lost and lonely ones 

We hid in the discotheques all night long 

'Till we could see the morning sun 

(Aaa) 

Denny was king, he'd rock the place 

(Aaa) 

Dressed like a working girl from outer space 

(Aaa) 

He was dancing like he wanted to dance his life away 

I don't really know 

How we survived the glitter years? 

What did we do it all for? 

(Aaa) 

Do you remember the glitter years? 

(Aaa) 

In December of '74 

Denny wrecked his father's car 

Drivin' home that night he was singin' 

(Singin') 

You better hang on to yourself 

You better hang on to yourself 

I don't really know 

How we survived the glitter years? 

(Aaa) 

I don't really know 

(Aaa) 

I don't really know 

(Aaa) 

(Surprise) 

I don't really know 

(Aaa) 

How we survived the glitter years? 

(Aaa) 

I don't really know 

(Aaa) 

(Aaa aaa) 

(Surprise) 

I don't really know 

(Aaa) 

And I don't wanna be 

(Aaa) 

I don't really know 

(Aaa) 

(Aaa)
