Capo:  2nd


Intro:  A


A
I took a taxi from LA to Venus in 1985 

I was electro-magnetically sucked back

Into a party going on that night
 D
It was the glory of the 80s

With karma drawn up in lines
A
And 2 bugle boy models saying 

"Baby it's a freebie - you sure look deprived." 


A
I had the Story of O in my bucket seat

Of my wanna be mustang

Auditioning for reptiles

In their Raquel Welsh campaign
  D
In the glories of the 80s you said

"I'm not afraid to die" I said
A
I don't find that remotely funny

Even on this space cake high


     E        D       F#m	   A
And  then     when it all seemed clear

	E	    D	  A
Just then you go and  disappear


A
silicone party babies to the left

And Joan of Arcs to the right

Nno one feeling insecure

We were all gorge and famous in our last lives
  D
In the glories of the 80s you said

"The end is nothing to fear" I said
A
Blow the end now baby 

Who do I gotta shag to get outta here


     E        D       F#m	   A
And  then     when it all seemed clear
	E	    D	  A
Just then you go and  disappear


A
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

Sure you're out there orbiting around

Sure you're out there orbiting around

Wish I had you back now


A
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"
  D
In the glories of the 80s

I may not have to die
A
I’ll clone myself like that blonde chick

That sings Bette Davis eyes


     E        D       F#m	   A
And  then     when it all seemed clear
	E	    D	  A
Just then you go and  disappear


A
Sure you're out there orbiting around

Sure you're out there orbiting around

Wish I had you back now


E        D       F#m	   A
And  then     when it all seemed clear
	E	    D	  A
Just then you go and  disappear
