WILL I MAKE IT THROUGH THE EIGHTIES ?
(Brown / Coffy)
Julie Brown


(huh)

Time to get up but I can't move.
What did I do last night?
Am I home? Are these my clothes?
I hope my car's alright.

Least it's Sunday. No it's Monday
I better call in dead
I might get by, but I'm so burnt
I can't get out of bed

Will I make it through the eighties?
I-yi-yi don't know
Will I make it through the eighties?
Knocked over like a domino
Will I make it through the eighties
Huh so….
(huh)

32 Steps from here to downstairs
I step on a cat, trip over a chair
Nothin' in the fridge, nothin' on TV
Well Sylvia Plath's got nothin' on me
Dig through the ashtrays and light up a butt
Sittin' here looking like I don't know what
Bit off more then my mind could chew
Shower or suicide, what do I do?

Will I make it through the eighties?
I-yi-yi don't know
Will I make it through the eighties?
Knocked over like a domino
Will I make it through the eighties
Hope so
(huh)

Time to grow up start livin' right
Stop sleepin' all day, playin' all night
Enough is enough. Gonna do it or die.
Is that the phone ringing? Oh Steve honey, hi!
A concert tonight? Yeah that sounds great!
But I'll burn myself out, I can't stay out that late.
No I mean it this time. I'm taking it slow.
Got a backstage pass? Alright let's go!

Will I make it through the eighties?
I-yi-yi don't know
Will I make it through the eighties?
Knocked over like a domino
Will I make it through the eighties
Wind me up and watch me go
Will I make it through the eighties

Hope so.
