Greater Than 84 - AFI

There’s an open sky,

and an empty city

where the rain falls of the night.

Upon precious flames,

We once felt so pretty

Our frail and only light.

Love is all that’s left,

And I’m emotionless.

You won’t read it in the papers

in this time.

Keep your hands clean

just read my mind.

We’re trapped between the nightmares,

And I fear

The future’s here it’s 1985,

It’s 1985.

Can you read my mind?

Can you read my mind?

Oh…

All the emptiness

Overfills this city

So you’ll be queen tonight.

As you overthrow

Looking pale and pretty

I welcome your requite.

They told us love can save,

so we prepared a brace

You won’t read it in the papers

in this time.

Keep your hands clean

just read my mind.

We’re trapped between the nightmares

And I fear

The future’s here it’s 1985,

It’s 1985.

Can you read my mind?

Will you hold my hand as we count the hours?

The hours?

Will you hold my hand as we count down the hours?

The hours?

Standing beneath the meteor showers.

Oh!

You won’t read it in the papers

in this time.

Keep your hands clean

just read my mind.

We’re trapped between the nightmares,

And I fear

The future’s here it’s 1985,

It’s 1985.

Can you read my mind?
