The Golden Age Lyrics

I wished I lived in the golden age
Giving it up on the broadway stage

Hang with the rats and smoke cigars
Just have a break with Frank and count the stars

Dressed to the nines, we’ve had too much
Shiny jewels, casino cash
Tapping feet, wanna take the lead
A trip back in time is all I need

Oh!
Sing it out loud gonna get back honey
Sing it out loud get away with me
Sing it out loud on a trip back honey
Sing it out loud and let yourself free
