Lost In The 80s

I was lost within the 80s, I was locked inside your love

Aquanet and acid jeans, Heaven sent you from above

I was young and so hot blooded, wanted you to check and see

Your poison in my ear so soft, dirty talkin’ me

We were runnin’ with the devil, we were livin’ on a prayer

You were my fire woman and we didn’t have a care

We didn’t start the fire, ’cause we didn’t have the spark

I was your gun for hire, we were dancing in the dark

I was staring at your photograph, look what you had done

You were a passion killer, you were much too fast for love

I headed where the down boys go, Heartbreak Boulevard

Hysteria had gripped me, this goodbye was twice as hard

As we go our separate ways, I don’t wanna face the day

“So this is love?”, I asked as pretty woman walked away

“I’ll be there for you,” those words you told me once before

And now I know one day for sure that you’ll be back for more

You’re in love, so lay it down, give me all your love tonight

Lady of the Valley, tell me, what’s your price for flight?

You’re the thorn on every rose, yet I’m never gonna let you go

I hate myself for lovin’ you, don’t ask me why, ’cause I don’t know

      This was actually a tough one. Pulling from so many sources and trying to make it somewhat work was challenging. lol

    Glorious was the day I learned if you rerun the same image through Midjourney a dozen times, you can get it to generate nudity. ๐Ÿ˜… I think they fixed that but back when I was single that was a proper Friday night.
