See if I had a time machine I could use it just for one day Now I would crawl in my computer screen And find designs that went away See a smile in every store White music all around me Commodore 64 And growing dreams on TV I would go back I would come home 1985 I am alive 1985 Slipping away by the telephone Cause that new girl just might call ya If you're late, she might be gone And there ain't no way to call her Trying to *** the magazine Cause it had a new big picture Wow, it's things that I'd never seen I would go back I would come home I would go back I would come home I would go back 1985 I am alive 1985 I am alive I'd be an idiot, but cheating would never stop Take your time, take it fast I know it ain't gonna last Tell them all about the future Take your time, take it fast And watch out for the next I can't be growing up too fast Let them have their get on blast Gotta have the right to be in a sitting chair See if I just go and I'm a zero Maybe I can be a hero Without the taxes, pay that bill 86 was Chernobyl 1985 I would go back I would come home I would go back 1985 I would come home 1985
