There's an open sky
And an empty city
Where the rain falls of the night

Upon precious flames
We once felt so pretty
Our frail and only light

Love is all that's left
And I'm emotionless

You won't read it in the papers
In this time
Keep your hands clean
Just read my mind

We're trapped between the nightmares
And I fear
The future's here it's 1985
It's 1985

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
Oh

All the emptiness
Overfills this city
So you'll be queen tonight
As you overthrow
Looking pale and pretty
I welcome your requite

They told us love can save
So we prepared a brace

You won't read it in the papers
In this time
Keep your hands clean
Just read my mind

We're trapped between the nightmares
And I fear
The future's here it's 1985
It's 1985
Can you read my mind?

Will you hold my hand as we count the hours?
The hours?
Will you hold my hand as we count down the hours?
The hours?

Standing beneath the meteor showers
Oh

You won't read it in the papers
In this time
Keep your hands clean
Just read my mind

We're trapped between the nightmares
And I fear
The future's here it's 1985
It's 1985
Can you read my mind?
