Imperial Teen Shim Sham
We had a party at the Shim Sham club
Youth in motion doubled up the buzz
Back and forth and back and in between
We sang and danced; the band was Rock*A*Teen (Oh oh)
Delinquent girls, we stayed up all night (Oh oh oh)
Spray-painting walls under suburban lights (Oh oh)
Then and now seems like a different scene (Oh oh oh)
We lived to live, whatever's meant to be
So pretty, so pretty, so pretty
Oh oh oh (Oh oh)
So pretty, so pretty, so pretty
Oh oh oh (Oh oh)
So pretty, so pretty, so pretty
Oh oh oh (Oh oh)
So pretty, so pretty, so pretty
Oh oh oh (Oh oh)
Driving to and from a favorite city (Oh oh)
Sharing stories of celebrity (Oh oh oh)
A break in time left irresistible space (Oh oh)
Filled in by punk rock and a storefront face
So pretty, so pretty, so pretty
Oh oh oh (Oh oh)
So pretty, so pretty, so pretty
Oh oh oh (Oh oh)
So pretty, so pretty, so pretty
Oh oh oh (Oh oh)
So pretty, so pretty, so pretty
Oh oh oh (Oh oh)
We had a party at the Shim Sham club
Youth in motion doubled up the buzz
Then and now seems like a different scene
Still live to live, whatever's meant to be (Oh oh)
Hung out on staircases in dirty places (Oh oh oh)
Looking for the next of many faces (Oh oh)
On the path less taken we were meeting (Oh oh oh)
Making friends for life in memory's keeping
So pretty, so pretty, so pretty
Oh oh oh (Oh oh)
