Kalax's "Metropolis" album cover. [Formatted]

There’s no maniacs on the floor, no skaters thrashing pools
There’s no cassettes in Corvettes, no lipstick red on cigarettes
No one wants to be seventeen years of age
There’s no extraterrestrials from outer space

Take me back to 1984
I cannot stand the future anymore

The sun was hot, the air was cool, and the kids were skipping out of school
There was hope inside of dreams like hoverboards and time machines
Kalax, take me home to the paradise city where the mannequin girls are weird but so pretty
The world was young, the world was dumb, the world was totally radical
The world was radical!

Take me back to 1984
I cannot stand the future anymore

I wanna go back

It’s alright, we’re alright, we’re summer kids
It’s alright, because we’re all summer kids

Back, back, back, back
Take me back

Take me back to 1984
I cannot stand the future anymore

Back, back, back, back
I wanna go back
