3. I met you in a cave, you were painting buffalo I said I'd be your slave, follow wherever you go That night we split a rattlesnake and danced beneath the stars You fell asleep, I stayed awake and watched the passing cars 80s
This is walk the dinosaur 🦕

4. Someone's always playing corporation games Who cares, they're always changing corporation names We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage They call us irresponsible, write us off the page 80s
This is we built this city on rock n roll.

I can't remember the group, but the singer is the woman from jefferson airplane.

Some folks are on blankets, slowly daydreaming
And reaching for their food
Let's go buy an ice-cream
And a magazine with an attitude
And put on a cassette, we can pretend that you're a star
'Cause life's so very simple, just like la-la-la 90s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/12/2021 18:31
