lyrics

New wave cosplay
Dress me up like a Nagel babe
Everyone looks beautiful
When we remember what our parents forgot.

Let’s pretend it’s the 80s
Let’s pretend it’s the 80s

Let’s act like we’ve got money to blow
Take a cab to Soho
Photography by Maripol
Everything’s dark in SoHo

Let’s pretend it’s the 80s
Let’s pretend it’s the 80s

Let’s act like we’ve got money
Let’s act like we’ve got money
Let’s act like we love money
Let’s love like we love money, we love money, we love money
Let’s act like the 80s, the 80s

Always No Wave
We don’t care what the neighbors say
Dance all night to Lizzy Mercier
Trying to learn how to dance that way.

Let’s pretend it’s the 80s
Let’s pretend it’s the 80s

Let’s dance like we’ve got money
Let’s dance like we’ve got money
Let’s dance like we love money
Let’s love like we love money, we love money, we love money
Pretend it’s the 80s, the 80s

"Hennessey is refreshingly, unabashedly intellectual, with that same zeal for cultural regurgitation that their artistic idols employed. They certainly learned from the best." - PostPunk.com
