I took a taxi from LA to Venus
in 1985 I was electromagnetically sucked back into the party
going on that night
and it was the glory of the 80's
with karma drawn up in lines
and two bugle boy models saying 'baby
it's a freebee you sure look deprived'
I had the Story of O in my bucket seat
of my wanna-be Mustang
auditioning for reptiles
in their Raquel Welsh campaign
in the glories of the 80's
you said, "I'm not afraid to die"
I said I don't find that remotely funny
even on this space cake high
and then when
it all seemed clear
just then you go and
disappear
silicone party barbies to the left and
Joan of Arcs to the right
no one feeling insecure we were
all gorge and famous in our last lives
in the glories of the 80's you said
'the end is nothing to fear' I said
blow the end - nowbaby who do I gotta
shag to get outta here
and then when it all seemed clear
just then you go and
disappear
sure you're out there orbiting around
wish I had you back now
I met a drag king call Venus
she had a velvet hologram she said
'my husband ran off with my
shaman, but they love me as I am'
in the glories of the 80's
I may not have to die
I'll clone myself like that blonde chick
that sings Bette Davis Eyes
and then when it all seemed clear
just then you go and
disappear
I took a taxi from LA to Venus
