Memories of the Seventies


 (A lone voice whispers)


We saw a glimmer and sweet sparkle


The night we met in Studio 54


In the Seventies


A night in that club that I'll never forget 


The one that makes your heart and soul go crazy and wet


We saw something so special 


It burnt with such an otherworldly fire  


A flame we both hoped 


Would burn forever and never expire


But the Leviathan and other jealous men and women 


Viewed us with suspicion eyes and such spiritual violence


That we now walk the path of the heartbroken in 2022


Filled with such silence 


You left me by the bridge of hopeless dreams 


As my whole world fell apart at the seams


But one day I know we'll be reunited

For I'll always be your king


And you'll always be my Lola

The woman I met in Studio 54 


When I was on leave from the Marines
