You lived in a place long, long ago 
Where nothing moved and time went slow 
And someone sang about a Golden Age 
In Cenetaph Park, drinking in the dark 
This place was the machine that put the iron in your heart 

So we hung around and we hung around 
and we hung around for days 
In the parking lot stoned, stars shone out of phase 
And the rain came down, cassettes wore out, Oh No! 
Then you left town feeling pretty down 
With your headphones and your coat and 
your dirty graduation gown you were 
In the bedroom singing radio songs 
Sing them loud 
Sing them all night, Emily 
You need something to help you along 
Freeze, freeze, freeze Little Golden Age 

I don't miss my Little Golden Age 
'Cause the body takes the heart, takes the heart 
around from place to place 
And this place still stands, this place remains unchanged 
And you can't go back 
Oh, who would want to anyway 

You were in the bedroom singing radio songs 
Sing them loud 
Sing them all night, Emily 
You needed something to help you along 
My Little Golden Age
