80 Going underground, atomic love will tear us apart. Back in black, the atmosphere that’s entertainment turns ashes to ashes my sweet Enola Gay.
81 So “Pretty in Pink”, pull up to the bumper of this ghost town by the river. Love action, too drunk to fuck, I’m under pressure from your tainted love…but I believe in love.
82 Run to the hills, Billie Jean because the temptation of this house of fun will send you straight to Hell. I will rock the Casbah and rip it up on the way to Atlantic City. Come on Eileen, should I stay or should I go, to Rio?
83 On blue Monday, this charming man sings his song to the siren, white lines…don’t don’t do it!
84 Two tribes, the Boys of Summer and The Killing Moon. You spin me round, time after time when doves cry. How soon is now to jump?
85 In between days don’t you forget about me. The hounds of love just like honey. On the road to nowhere we care a lot, shipbuilding the whole of the Moon.
86 Living on a prayer, this velocity girl is a master of puppets. Past Graceland there is a light that never goes out. If I walk this way, I might just word up out of this bizarre love triangle.
87 What have I don’t to deserve this? It’s a sin that I need you tonight. Just like Heaven, the Fairytale of New York on April skies shows the sign ‘o’ the times and never let me down again. I’m gonna push it and pump up the volume because nothing’s gonna stop us now. Cause I’m paid in full. You’re the one I love, but with or without you I hit the north on my birthday.
88 You made me realize that I don’t believe the hype. Our teen age riot, that freak scene straight outta Compton left teardrops in the mercy seat. Where is my mind? A buffalo stance beat dis sweet child ‘o’ mine mentality everywhere like a theme from S’Express and everyday is like Sunday until it ain’t.
89 So sit down while she bangs the drums back to life like a monkey gone to Heaven after fools gold in the pacific state. She can’t be sure about the magic number, like a prayer I cry Hallelujah about a girl and her French kiss…
