we were laughing like lizards at a practical joke

cause the cigarettes didn't taste like the brand we used to smoke

and the city shone bright like never before



you were Lou Marini, I picked Suzie Q

you said I had no style, but I could borrow some from for you

and the night was a star-lit stage

and the crowd screamed for more, forgiven for sure



let's imitate life like a tv-star



so strange at night, I got lost in your cellophane eyes

so strange at night, this is a song for our wasted lifes



we were sattillite dancers and go-go girls

the street was a river of indian pearls

I waved to the moon, smiling from the sleepy sky, to our sleepy high



if you break both legs, then still you would run

elope from the morning and hide from the sun

if this ever comes to and end, I would surely cry

I would lay down and die



let’s imitate life like a tv-star



so strange at night, I got lost in your cellophane eyes

so strange at night, this is a song for our wasted lifes
