so long war
rock and roll has not been heard before
in their long black cars
technicolour movies for the stars
i wish i'd learn to dance the way my parents danced
it seems i always try to lead the man
cause i can
i wish that i was 25 back then

london's high
marianne is faithful to the sky
and a brand new beat
floating from a room across the street
it wasn't only armstrong up there on the moon
it seemed everybody's head was in the sky
sometimes i
i wish that i was 25 back then

what i need is jean picard
to teach me how to fly
get to meet whatever's out there
watching from the sky
bring back a new cigarette that
doesn't make you die
don't want a super highway
just want a super high
sometimes i
i wish that i was 25 back then
and the world moves on
