lyrics

It's got it's poetry bag and all of it's shit's in it
It's got 6 warm beers and a pack of cigarettes to finish
It likes to think of itself as a young neo-Winston Smith
It's hiding out in 1986
It's got, like, Jesus Christ blue eyes
It's real "love's young nightmare" like
The devil looks like shiny shiny lights
It's sittin' in the cemetery reading "the drunken boat"
It takes out it's notebook but all of it's pencils are broke
So it scribbles a couple of lines in the dirt with a stick
It says "fuck you man, it's 1986"
It's got, like, weepy angel eyes
It's real "love's young nightmare" like
The devil shakes his shiny hips at night
It's got a girlfriend it hates, but man, does she love to fight
So it drinks on the roof of the Livingston Building all night
Doin' it's high-wire daredevil dance just for kicks
It's walking the plank in 1986
The devil shakes his shiny hips, the devil waves
his shiny fists, the devil kisses on the lips,
The devil looks like shiny lights
It hears there's a party on Olive and there's gonna be drugs
But all it really wants is some young body to love
Someone to take it home, somebody to fix it
Alone and broke in 1986
