THEY’RE ALL GOING TO Y2K

WE’RE GOING TO THE 70S

SILVER STARS UPON MY FACE

LEATHER BOOTS UPON MY KNEES

SORRY I’M A LITTLE LATE

I BEEN SPINNING ROUND AND ROUND

WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN AGE

EVERYTHING IS PEACHY NOW

IS IT SOMETHING YOU LIKE?

LA, LA, LA, LA YOU LIKE?

GLITTER CATSUITS, VINTAGE COATS

GET ON STAGE, TAKE A BOW

MARRY ME, LET’S MAKE A VOW
