Lost Our Friends to Heavy Metal
Well you were dressed like Shirley Temple, I was James Dean
We were ex-lion tamers, we were seventeen
We lived for Rodney's English Disco and the Diamond Dogs
They called us young and disaffected, in fact we'd
We'd taken once inside
And once inside of Rodney's everybody's a star
We stood up when Sidney shouted, "This is not who we are!"
Make a list of disappointments, failures, cities, and trends
As the thrift store ballerinas feed us
We thought the years would save us
Both of us had settled
Lost our friends to heavy metal
Both of us had settled
Lost our friends to heavy metal
