"Old Crest On A New Wave" lyrics

Taking chances back in '64
Doing things I'd never done before
Waking up on someone's basement floor
Had a dream that I would be a star
Make a record, drive a fancy car
There was nothing I could really lose

Just an old crest on a new wave
Just an old crest on a new wave

Old or new, no matter who you are
Nothing's changed, not even next year's car
Just another problem, which to choose
Someone dies and someone else is born
Accountant tells me that I'm overdrawn
Won't somebody tell me some good news?

Just an old crest on a new wave
Just an old crest on a new wave

I've been dancing with my many fears
Through the laughter and around the tears
Music maker, sing me one more song
I don't care how long

Taking chances back in '64
Doing things I'd never done before
Waking up on someone's basement floor
I had a dream that I would be a star
Make a record, drive a fancy car
There was nothing I could really lose

Just an old crest on a new wave
Just an old crest on a new wave
Just an old crest on a new wave
Just an old crest on a new wave

Somebody help me now
Dancin' in the street
You know I'm feelin' alright
Only you know and I know
Give me a reason, give me a reason why, yeah
