Denny was working it real hard

Down Sunset Boulevard

Back in nineteen-seventy-three

Why would he bother going home

His parents left him on his own

Who knows - maybe they were out getting stoned.



I don't really know

How we survived the glitter years

What did we do it all for

Do you remember the glitter years.



Oooh, we were the lost and lonely ones

We hid in the discotheques all night long

'Til we could see the morning sun

Denny was king, he'd rock the place

Dressed like a working girl from outer space

He was dancing like he wanted to dance his life away.



I don't really know

How we survived the glitter years

What did we do it all for

Do you remember the glitter years.



In December of seventy-four

Denny wrecked his father's car

Driving home that night

He was singing (singing).



"You'd better hang onto yourself"

"You'd better hang onto yourself".



I don't really know

How we survived the glitter years

I don't really know

I don't really.



I don't really know

How we survived the glitter years

I don't really know

I don't really know (no I don't).
