1987 Lyrics by We Are The City

High School

2011

The year I was born, three teens from New York killed a man, the most despicable crime
In the same year, Robert McFarlane attempted a suicide
Discovered new kinds of light not yet seen by human eyes
The first birth of a galaxy

The year I was born, Capitol comes to close, premiere Bold and the Beautiful. It's all shampoo and soap
In the same year, Gary Hart quits his job, three teens kill their friend for fun. They see the devil in everything, and I'm thе direct opposite

(An Angel in Whitе came to my room in the night and with no words She offered me the Light but I turned my back and faced the dark. I heard a noise in my ears from the kitchen downstairs so I checked out of fear to see if something was there. Now the Angel had flown away and a demon had taken its place. Now I'm afraid.)
