New Ways of Living Lyrics
Maybe I should have loved you
Maybe I should have sworn
Not to be born
Of this wretched glove too soon
But a dragon needs room!

To run, run, run, run...

I wore skins. I didn't care who survived
The band foretold trends from Spring of '85
They're calling it "The New Decay"...
Hey, so am I

Treacherous fop, don't be embarrassed
For looking good at your table on the terrace
That you call home. I'm sold!
Paris, London, Rome's too old for you
And your kind
Explosions want to see what they can find:
New ways of living...
It's you and your kind:
The New Ways of Living!
