Lyrics
Minutes are moving fast with anticipation
the sweet perfume of teenage recreation
a night of first kisses and sideway glances
in a world of human contact they'll take their chances...
taking chances
their taking chances
The world of girls and boys and endless decisions
talking about dreams with split second visions
hormonal drives constantly shifting gears
physical chemistry trapped in adolescent fears
it's the atom bomb without the danger or noise
but it's blowing up the world of girls and boys
the world of girls and boys
yes, it's blowing up the world of girls and boys
the world of girls and boys
The disciplined worlds of their ruling classes
parental guidance lost in a bottled glasses
lessons being given but not always taught
riding on the waves of emotion without getting caught
Selfie nation
broadband connection
holograph beauty
without reflection
The world of girls and boys and endless decisions
talking about dreams with split second visions
hormonal drives constantly shifting gears
physical chemistry trapped in adolescent fears
it's the atom bomb without the danger or noise
but it's blowing up the world of girls and boys
the world of girls and boys
yes, it's blowing up the world of girls and boys
the world of girls and boys
Broken rules that were meant to be broken
secret signs without ever being spoken
nights riding high and days on the low
leave what doesn't travel well and take what you know
traveling through the wires of fantasy flesh
keeping the cool
and staying fresh
The world of girls and boys and endless decisions
talking about dreams with split second visions
hormonal drives constantly shifting gears
physical chemistry trapped in adolescent fears
it's the atom bomb without the danger or noise
but it's blowing up the world of girls and boys
the world of girls and boys
yes, it's blowing up the world of girls and boys
the world of girls and boys
