I left no friends and family in nineteen eighty-nine I had a quarter in my pocket when I came to New York City in nineteen eighty-nine
I was standing on a corner with a friend of a butcher who was no friend of mine
He fileted a ballerina and he made a soup in nineteen eighty-nine
This dude was selling a cannabis plant it must've been five feet high
Where I'd just come from one can get ten to life just for standing nearby
I thought Oh my God what am I doin' here I'm only twenty-nine I was gonna live forever in nineteen eighty-nine
Nineteen Eighty-Nine Nineteen Eighty-Nine I was gonna live forever in nineteen eighty-nine
I met David Peel on Max Yasgur’s Farm in nineteen eighty-nine I made love with Luna on a hill under the moon she was like the finest of wines
I had a pad on St Mark it was right by the park in nineteen eighty nine
I was makin’ a record on the Lower East Side in nineteen eighty-nine
Campfires were blazin in the park where I was sleepin’ in nineteen eighty-nine The losers and the winners and the nomads and the sinners all seemed like pretty nice guys
I wasn't gonna join 'em I was havin’ a good time livin’ my life in my prime I was gonna live forever in nineteen eighty-nine
I met a junky on the street on Avenue B he was busy wasting time He told me a story a horror story about how he had to wait in line The dealers in the doorways they were peddlin’ murder for a nickel and a dime
I was gonna live forever in nineteen eighty-nine
Nineteen Eighty-Nine Nineteen Eighty-Nine I was gonna live forever in nineteen eighty-nine
I met a woman she was begging for change in nineteen eighty-nine I told her I was hungry and I didn’t have a dime so she asked me if I had some time
Her name was Maggie and she sat me down and fed me it was a mighty fine dine
It blew my mind how she could be so kind in nineteen eighty-nine
I didn’t care I was havin’ a good time livin’ my life in my prime I was gonna live forever in nineteen eighty-nine
(VERSE SOLO)
Without a care I was havin’ a good time livin’ my life in my prime I was gonna live forever in nineteen eighty-nine Nineteen Eighty-Nine Nineteen Eighty-Nine I was gonna live forever in nineteen eighty-nine I was gonna live forever in nineteen eighty-nine
Nineteen Eighty-Nine
