FlouncingBabooshka · 14/10/2023 17:39

What do you think about that, now you know how I feel
90s

It really moved me, it really moved me
80s

Break the window by the town hall
Listen, a siren screams
80s

No matter now how high the moon
Shine down on me
70s

You're old enough to kill but not for votin'
60s

I don't understand it, for you it's a breeze
80s

I live among the creatures of the night
80s

Like the video films we saw
70s
