Whatever happened to the golden days?
Whatever happened to the plans we made?
Whatever happened to the late-night drives?
There was nothing to hide
Stay together till we died

We were the kings of the moonlight
The masters of starlight
In the darkness, we lived, never ran, never hid from them, woah-oh
We were the kids of the 80s
Haven't seen much of you lately
Have they put out the fire that made us inspired back then? Woah-oh

Forgotten dreams as the medicine leaves my system
I'm drifting again

Whatever happened to the golden days?
Whatever happened to the plans we made?
Whatever happened to the late-night drives?
There was nothing to hide
Stay together till we died
Whatever happened to the golden days?
Whatever happened to the songs we played?
Whatever happened to the lows and the highs
Los Angeles nights
On top of Mulholland Drive?

We always knew, never doubted
That our words would be shouted
See us standing on ten-thousand uplifted hands and then, woah-oh

The memory fades, but the melody breaks the system
We're dancing again
Whatever happened to the golden days?

Whatever happened to the golden days?
Whatever happened to the plans we made?
Whatever happened to the late-night drives?
There was nothing to hide
Stay together till we died
Whatever happened to the golden days?
Whatever happened to the songs we played?
Whatever happened to the lows and the highs
Los Angeles nights
On top of Mulholland Drive?
