25 back then

so long war

rock 'n' roll has not been heard before

in their long black cars

technicolor movies for the stars

i wish i'd learned to dance the way my parents dance

it seems i always try to lead the man

'cause i can

i wish that i was 25 back then

london's high

marianne is faithful to the sky

and a brand new beat

floating from a room across the street

it wasn't only armstrong up there on the moon

it seemed everybody's head was in the sky

sometimes i

i wish that i was 25 back then

what i need is jean picard

to teach my how to fly

get to meet whatever's up there

watching from the sky

bring back a new cigarette

that doesn't make you die

don't want a super highway

just want a super high

sometime i

i wish that i was 25 back then

and the world moves on
