Glitter Years lyrics
by The Bangles



Denny was working it real hardDown Sunset BoulevardBack in nineteen-seventy-threeWhy would he bother going homeHis parents left him on his ownWho knows - maybe they were out getting stoned.I don't really knowHow we survived the glitter yearsWhat did we do it all forDo you remember the glitter years.Oooh, we were the lost and lonely onesWe hid in the discotheques all night long'Til we could see the morning sunDenny was king, he'd rock the placeDressed like a working girl from outer spaceHe was dancing like he wanted to dance his life away.I don't really knowHow we survived the glitter yearsWhat did we do it all forDo you remember the glitter years.In December of seventy-fourDenny wrecked his father's carDriving home that nightHe was singing (singing)."You'd better hang onto yourself""You'd better hang onto yourself".I don't really knowHow we survived the glitter yearsI don't really knowI don't really.I don't really knowHow we survived the glitter yearsI don't really knowI don't really know (no I don't).
