Living like it's 1983...

lyrics

Starstruck

Starstruck
Stumbling blind
Drunk on the noise
Rum and wine
Bright lights and shiny promises
Bad luck
You weren’t on time
Take your place at the back of the line
Street fight
You’re living the dream

Starstruck
Starstruck
Living like it’s 1983
Starstruck
Starstruck
You’re not on the list
As far as I can see

Big towers
Golden showers
She gets paid well
By the hour
Better call The Fixer
For a scheme
You’ve got money
So we’re told
Everything can be bought and sold
Anything to boost your self esteem
Shooting on 5th Avenue
Circus clown
Snake oil guru
Selling off your assets
From the fire
Dark money
You can spend
Pipeline from
A special friend
You don’t like them
Calling you a liar

 
Starstruck
Starstruck
Living like it’s 1983
Starstruck
Starstruck
You’re not on the list
As far as I can see

Starstruck
You’re out of time
Out of sound bites
Your last dime
Digging a big hole
In which you’ll hide
Load the truck
Pull the plug
Don’t forget
The Persian Rug
Not sure if you can get out
All the stains

Starstruck
Starstruck
Living like it’s 1983
Starstruck
Starstruck
You’re not on the list
As far as I can see
Starstruck
Starstruck
Yeah, you’re starstruck
Starstruck

DarkRideMusic Toronto, Ontario

Cool mesmerizing grooves. Words that paint a scene that doesn’t leave you. The intensity of a lullaby, the understated undertow of a midnight tide.
Toronto producer multi-instrumentalist Rein Vares and vocalist/lyricist Derek Christie have collaborated as DarkRide for decades after meeting up in the city’s Queen Street W scene in the 1980’s. Now six albums in, their sound evolves with each... ... more
