    Lyrics:
    We walk in circles, destined to collide
    Which way is up, I never could decide
    But when I'm down, you're like a parasite
    You take my breath and you fall out of sight
    Maybe I'll run and hide
    Tomorrow change my mind
    Until then it's suicide
    Every night and every single day
    Controls my dreams, I don't know what to say
    You turn to the left, I turn to the right
    You won't come in the sun, it's far too bright
    Maybe you'll run and hide
    Tomorrow change your mind
    Until then it's suicide
    Standing in the dark
    This could be our last mistake
    Standing in the dark
    This could be our last mistake
    Systems red, we switch to overload
    Defcon Five, we're ready to explode
    You think we're humble, we take no prisoners
    You drop that bomb, they'll be no prisoners
    Maybe we'll run and hide
    Tomorrow change our minds
    Until then it's suicide
    Standing in the dark
    This could be our last mistake
    Standing in the dark
    This could be our last mistake
    But it's not the first one
    Standing in the dark
    Standing in the dark
    Maybe I'll run and hide
    Tomorrow change my mind
    Until then it's suicide
    Standing in the dark
    This could be our last mistake
    Standing in the dark
    This could be our last mistake
    Standing in the dark
    Standing in the dark
    Standing in the dark
    Standing in the dark
    Standing
    Standing
    In the dark, dark, dark

      @@marcusleja7133 I can defiently see that despite Platinum Blonde's Duran Duran appearance they had a lot more edge to their songs then most New Wave acts. Another band that's similar IMO as more edgey sounding new wave is an American band called Missing Persons it's kind of like Platinum Blonde only gender swapped lol

PD, Spoons and other new Canadian bands, CD's just new. We'd be waiting for the newest video to drop on Much Music and we were EXCITED for it. All this music not only on the radio but at the arcade!

Later in the early 90’s, I used to hang out with Kenny Maclean as my sister was dating one of his band members - he was such a wonderful guy - a big, generous personality. Asked me if I wanted to meet Mark Holmes who was playing pool nearby and I croaked No because sister dearest had just been embarrassing me with tales of how I had a teenage crush on him. What a shy stupid idiot I was back then.

Since VR is right around the corner, I think that would be a world that I would like to enter into...and create within. I could help you with all of it: music, style, design, 3D modeling, etc. Obviously, it would require some funding. But once ready, APPLE could offer it as a WORLD within their UNIVERSE....
