I Was Alive for 15 Days in the 80's - Take Me To The Pilot

Walked in to the tune of the very last song in the set

I guess there wasn’t much time left

I blinked my eyes, the stage was bare, and I’m still standing there

Not a single note left, just lingering

But still I stood there silent, listening

To the echoes of everything I just missed

Old photographs and memories

Are all that’s left here for me

To show the way things were

Back when life was carefree

Take me back in time

To when the lighters' glow reflected in your eyes

As you stared out from the stage

Back when all the world was a stage

Well I tried with all my might to re-live those days

I tried to do it through the songs I played

Fell in love with long hair and rock clothes

The big drums and the guitar solos

But through it all, one thing’s missing

And till the day I die I’ll be wishing it was 1984

And that the band was still on tour

I wanna be on the midnight train, going any way

I wanna feel the bite of that November rain

I wanna be 18 till I die

I wanna roll with that sweet child o' mine

I wanna feel as cold as ice

I wanna feel my heart beat in the still of the night

I wanna meet a girl who’s only seventeen

Just don’t you forget about me

I’m still standing by that stage

I’ll always be standing by that stage
