you lived in a place long long ago where nothing moved and time went slow and someone sang about a golden age in cenotaph park drinking in the dark this place was the machine that put the iron in your heart so we hung around and we hung around and we hung around for days in the parking lot stoned stars shone out of phase and the rain came down cassettes wore out oh no then you left town feeling pretty down with your headphones and your coat and your dirty graduation gown you were in the bedroom singing radio songs sing them loud sing them all night emily you need something to help you along freeze freeze freeze little golden age i don t miss my little golden age cause the body takes the heart takes the heart around from place to place and this place still stands this place remains unchanged and you can t go back oh who would want to anyway you were in the bedroom singing radio songs sing them loud sing them all night emily you needed something to help you along my little golden age
