He's a mover he's a shaker he's a real money maker
|
Spit shine on his alligator shoes
|
Nobody's knowin'
|
He's headin' straight for ruin
|
And he doesn't even have a clue
|
|
The Harlem man
|
Hadn't asked where it's all happened
|
He's got a window on the 32nd floor
|
Whoever would have thought
|
It turns out all he ever wanted
|
Ain't the thing he was lookin' floor
|
|
Sometimes he wishes that the wish wasn't granted
|
Wonderin' how he ever got this enchanted
|
Holdin' onto the good life
|
He can't stand it
|
Everybody leaves here empty handed
|
|
The smalltown beauty queen
|
Livin' on amphetamines
|
Hangin' in the Hollywood hills
|
Got herself famous in the city of the angels
|
With the help of the devil and the pills
|
|
Now daddy was a preacher
|
Even Jesus couldn't reach her
|
She's a victim of another disease
|
She's done a lot of ??
|
And she's had a lot of surgery
|
Searchin' for what she needs
|
|
Sometimes she wishes that the wish wasn't granted
|
Wonderin' how she ever got this enchanted
|
Holdin' onto the good life
|
And she can't stand it
|
Everybody leaves here empty handed
|
|
Well the cold hard truth
|
It's up to you
|
So if you ever wish that your wish wasn't granted
|
Wonderin' how you ever got this enchanted
|
Holdin onto the good life
|
But you can't stand it
|
Well everybody leaves here empty handed
|
Empty handed
|
Empty handed
|
Well everybody leaves here empty handed
|
