<br>

Tad:<br>

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>
