Lyrics
She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 (So long, farewell) She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's throwing punches to the beat To the sound of cable TV And she'll never see the world the same She is a Cold War in my head And I am East Berlin On the danger side of parts unknown Coffee and cyanide for lovers in disgrace If this is not a test, we got one foot in the grave She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 (So long, farewell) She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 Crimes from another time Champagne and party lines God bless the end of times Pain, commies and cocaine Slam danced in acid rain We'll live the dream for fifteen minutes of fame She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 (So long, farewell) She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 (So long, farewell) (So long, farewell)
