1981
I was up in Chinatown
Trying to buy a lamp
And some Mao Tse Dong
Paraphernalia
I had a little too much to drink last night
And I think I just might go back to the future
(And this is how we dance)
Like a snake, ma
So real that it's fake, ma
(1-9-8-1) (And this is how we--) (1-9-8-1)
(And this is how we dance)
Like a snake, ma
So real that it's fake, ma
(1-9-8-1) (And this is how we--) (1-9-8-1)
I think I'm going to quit my job
And buy a sailboat
With a circular cheetah-print waterbed
I'm going to change my name to
Apollo Diamond Belvedere
I'm going to show you
I'm going to show you how to
Show you how to
(And this is how we dance)
Like a snake, ma
So real that it's fake, ma
(1-9-8-1) (And this is how we--) (1-9-8-1)
(And this is how we dance)
Like a snake, ma
So real that it's fake, ma
(1-9-8-1) (And this is how we--) (1-9-8-1)

We can't love and we can't hate

We don't even know ourselves

This is what you want when you want some more

This is how you feel when you're feeling great

You don't even know yourself
