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
