Glory Of The 80's Lyrics - To Venus And Back - Tori Amos

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"

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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
