I don't know how long This place's been my home I don't know how long I've been trying to write this song The boys are all gone Oh-since 1981 They've left me All alone
I've been trying Without a reason Just floating With the stream of my heart Or what's been Left of it
All i ever wanted Was the ultimate song Pure, true fulfillment of the heart
I've heard a million songs I've seen a thousand bands Generations came along Shared my room, my house But none's ever noticed Me or my craft They were too busy With themselves
I've been trying To get trough But these mortals Were so ignorant Who needs A dead man's song
Once i had a love Who inspired all my songs Now, i've found you Would you sing along To tell the audience Oh-about 81 About me And my room I've been trying To escape But for me every exit Is an entrance to this room
