Jamie!<br>
<br>
Jamie:<br>
Tad!<br>
<br>
Tad:<br>
Monstrous events are scheduled for tonight<br>
I went away, just for the day<br>
To see my family<br>
What a bore<br>
Too many cocktails on the lawn<br>
Discussing sodomy and nuclear war<br>
Another yuppie puppy party<br>
In Connecticut suburbia<br>
The global meltdown has begun<br>
And it’s beginning in suburbia<br>
I lit across the bridge, I flew into a cab<br>
I caught the first train back<br>
<br>
Tad and Girl:<br>
Grand Central Station here I come<br>
I need the middle of your <br>
Fastest, fastest track<br>
<br>
Tad:<br>
And then I get there and walk east on 42nd<br>
To the place where the light hits the sky<br>
That’s right, yeah<br>
And I stand on my tiptoes and scream at the rooftops,<br>
‘Hey, did you miss me?<br>
Come over and kiss me!’<br>
It’s great to be back in the city<br>
<br>
Chorus:<br>
Great back in the the city<br>
<br>
Tad:<br>
It’s great to be back in my town<br>
<br>
Chorus: <br>
Great back in my town<br>
<br>
Tad and Chorus:<br>
Great to be back where such plenty goes down<br>
I got plenty to go around<br>
<br>
Tad:<br>
Look at the people<br>
Swarming around like flies<br>
They don’t know me<br>
<br>
Tad and Chorus:<br>
I’m a hundred stories high<br>
<br>
Tad:<br>
I’m lookin’ out my penthouse window<br>
At the New York City skyline, I say, <br>
‘Honey baby, you’re all mine.’<br>
Yeah<br>
It’s great to be back in the city<br>
<br>
Chorus:<br>
Great back in the the city<br>
<br>
Tad:<br>
It’s great to be back in my town<br>
<br>
Chorus:<br>
Great back in my town<br>
<br>
Tad:<br>
Back in the town where such<br>
<br>
Tad and Chorus:<br>
Plenty goes down<br>
And there’s plenty to go around<br>
<br>
Chorus (repeated):<br>
1984 <br>
<br>
Tad:<br>
There’s money falling from the sky<br>
Grab some, have some<br>
<br>
Tad and Chorus:<br>
Falling too fast<br>
(Falling to fast)<br>
Running too free <br>
(Running too free)<br>
Happy just to be in heartbreak<br>
Jumping too far<br>
(Jumping too far)<br>
Crashing the ledge<br>
(Crashing the ledge)<br>
Dancing on the edge of heartbreak<br>
Put all the hookers around the door<br>
Turn down the tricks at the bar<br>
Never the less, here we are<br>
The more impossible it is to get in,<br>
The more we want to explore<br>
<br>
Chorus (repeated):<br>
1984<br>
<br>
Coke Girl:<br>
The drugs make you feel the music<br>
And the music makes you want more drugs<br>
<br>
Chorus:<br>
Heartbreak<br>
<br>
Jamie: <br>
And all you need is one more popper<br>
One more vodka<br>
One more topsy-turvy, hunky-dory<br>
Manic, manic, magic high<br>
<br>
Jamie and Chorus:<br>
Listen to the voices<br>
Raging round inside your head again<br>
Like a message from the Vatican<br>
They’re watching as you’re slipping,<br>
As you’re ripping into tripping<br>
Are you willing to be killing<br>
All the dreams that you are having?<br>
Skipping, dripping, slipping, sliding<br>
When you really should be flying from heartbreak<br>
Welcome to the party baby, come on in<br>
Bright lights, big city<br>
<br>
Jamie:<br>
We’ll get you in the middle of the universe<br>
<br>
Jamie and Chorus:<br>
Bright lights, big city<br>
Look at the lights<br>
We’ll get you in the middle of the universe in 1984<br>
Bright lights, big city<br>
<br>
<br>
