lyrics

Girl vaudeville Broadway Broadway
Dance elegant bow to an audience
Sing for Valium don't be someone's
Pearls emeralds lure in the curious.

Long ago I'd given up hope of being anyone
To you and your friends and your knowledge of film.
But what I wouldn't do to lie naked with you,
To be third in line, to be your fool.

You smiled at me yesterday and now I can't sleep
For wondering what it meant.

Long ago I'd given up hope of being anyone
To you, your admirers and your lofty ideas.
But what I wouldn't do to lie naked with you,
For a heart untied from your wayward mood,
To see in your eyes that you want me, too.
