Golden Earing nailed this one and was the SHIT! This song was what defined the 1980's.

The full participation of the crowd; not bothered by mobile phones. Love it ♥

It's 2 am
The fear is gone
I'm sitting here waiting
The gun's still warm
Maybe my connection
Is tired of taking chances

Yeah, there's a storm on the loose
Sirens in my head
Wrapped up in silence
All circuits are dead
Cannot decode
My whole life spins into a frenzy

Help, I'm steppin' into the Twilight Zone
Place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacons been moved
Under moon and star
Where am I to go Now that I've gone too far

Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone

Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone

I'm fallin' down a spiral
Destination unknown
Double-crossed messenger
All alone
Can't get no connection
Can't get through; where are you?

Well the night weighs heavy
On his guilty mind
This far from the border line
When the hit man comes
He knows damn well he has been cheated

Help I'm steppin' into the Twilight Zone
Place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacons been moved
Under moon and star
Where am I to go Now that I've gone too far

I have this taped off the radio from back then. It must've been pre-MTV for me, because I didn't know they were cute. Haha I didn't know what they looked like, at all! Great music! 🎤🎸🎶

[MaryHoenigman-my]

The 80’s were the best music ever!! I want my 80’s back! The best yrs of my life!! ❤️💋❤️

[m.scottreeder]

This song was released in the fall of 1982; I was eighteen and living in Montgomery, Alabama.
Another song that came out at that time was “Pressure” by Billy Joel.

[edsfilmarchief]

I have been lucky to see them live in the eighties in my teenage years. It was so good and full of energy!
Loud and hot as hell due to the p.a. And lightning’s systems used back then.. made the experience even better.
