Greater Than '84 lyrics

There's an open sky and an empty city

Where the rain falls of the night

Upon precious flames, we once found so pretty

Our frail and only light

Love is all that's left

And I'm emotionless

[Refrain:]

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?

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 our graves

[Refrain:]

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

[Refrain:]

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?
