LYRICS
you thought you had it coming
but now you really really just don't know
it seems you make a deal far too big outta this
you thought that you'd done it
jeah you thought that you had heard it all
but the state of things is putting you down now just because

you know they say it's just the eighties coming back
can you feel it’s just the eighties coming back
aw i know it's just the eighties coming
eighties coming eighties coming
eighties coming back

you said let's do it
let's take it out and dance all night
but those deep synthesizer sounds freak you out
now you wake up in the middle of the night
in terror all you do is cry
cold sweat a cup of tea no nothing seems to help you
thru the night
my god

it's just the eighties coming back
can you feel it’s just the eighties coming back
aw i know it's just the eighties coming
eighties coming eighties coming
eighties coming back

jeah you thought you had it coming
but now it looks like you didn't know this
everybody's wearing their hair the way you did 15 years ago
and it makes you wanna cry

it's just the eighties coming back
can you feel it’s just the eighties coming back
it's just the eighties coming
eighties coming eighties coming
eighties coming back
