we were laughing like lizards at a practical joke cause the cigarettes didn't taste like the brand we used to smoke and the city shone bright like never before you were Lou Marini, I picked Suzie Q you said I had no style, but I could borrow some from you and the night was a star-lit stage and the crowd screamed for more, forgiven for sure let's imitate life like a tv-star so strange at night, I got lost in your cellophane eyes so strange at night, this is a song for our wasted lives we were sattillite dancers and go-go girls the street was a river of indian pearls
I waved to the moon, smiling from the sleepy sky, to our sleepy high if you break both legs, then still you would run elope from the morning and hide from the sun if this ever comes to an end, I'd lay down and cry I'd surely die let's imitate life like a tv-star so strange at night, I got lost in your cellophane eyes so strange at night, this is a song for our wasted lifes let's imitate life like a tv-star so strange at night, I got lost in your cellophane eyes so strange at night, this is a song for our wasted lifes
