This song is about how the world is losing it’s innocence and decency, and how all is lost from what the evil world has done to people. How even the greatest people are scum, and how the world is corrupt. It’s awfully cynical.
It is from the album Zinc Alloy & The Hidden Riders of Tomorrow, and...
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh oh
Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream?
Surprise, surprise, the boys are home
My guardian angel's run down my telephone
The heat's on mister, can't you hear them scream?
Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream?
The curfew comes at the crack of night
Sad old wino aches to dissipate the fright
The jet junk jiver speeds past in his machine
Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream?
A broken God, from a musty world
Sweetly mouth touched an onyx girl
His prison bars were very hard to clean
Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream?
Yeah
Do it, do it, do it to me babe
Do it to me babe, aha!
Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream?
The Wizard of Oz, and the bronzen thief
Ruled my girl with teutonic teeth
But all was lost when her mouth turned green
Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream?
Yeah
Silver Surfer, and the Ragged Kid
Are all sad and rusted boy, they don't have a gig
Believe me Pope Paul, my toes are clean
Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream?
Yeah
Black is black, and white is white
Some go to heaven and some get it light
Nobody disapproves but his wicked screams
Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream?
Yeah
Ha haha
Ok, [?]
I'm talking teen age to you woman
I'm talking to you
Play them blues to me boy
Ride off
