Lyrics
The sky was clear and sunny and the grass was green
as beautiful a day as anyone had seen
She walked down the stairs
talking on the phone to one of her 10-minute friends
I heard her say she really liked the movie
but she hates the way that it ends
Mr. Feedback with his harp attack
for three years hasn't been seen
one night I fear, he'll reappear
with a Radio Shack tambourine
all the villains and goldseekers
try to fake it with gadgetry
but you can't sample someone's soul
you can't digitize infinity
I think I'll go out and drive my car
I'm sure glad video
never killed the radio star
riding around with the windows rolled down
I can lose myself in a song
well I know I just missed her
but I got to keep moving on
This is 1984, those words were spray painted
right beside the door
that's when I knew I just missed her
that's when I knew I wouldn't see her anymore
