I am trying to be heroic In an age of modernity I am trying to be heroic It's all around me history sings So I enjoyed and I devoured flesh and wine and luxury But in my heart I am lukewarm nothing ever really touches me <♪> At Les Trois Garcons we meet at precisely 9 o'clock I order the foie gras and I eat it with complet edisdain Bubbles rise in champagne flutes but when we kiss I feel nothing Feasting on sleeping pills and Marlboro Reds so busy won't save you Oh how our our parents they suffered for nothing Live the dream live the dream live the dream Like the 80s never happened People are afraid are afraid To merge on the freeway Disappear here <♪> Stroll the pier into the magazine launch party I am handed a pill and I swallow with complete disdain Kick-drum bangs off the high-hat Remember to look bored We suck each others' faces and make sure we are noticed Cocaine won't save you Because East London is a vampire it sucks the joy right out of me How we long for corruption in these golden years Oh how our how are parents they suffered for nothing Live the dream live the dream live the dream Like the 80s never happened People are afraid are afraid To merge on the freeway Disappear here Disappear here Disappear here Disappear here Disappear here
