It's all become a fantasy
   She sits and reads about Tiffany's
   I moan all day about the state of the world
   And the sun beats down
  
   Her book if full of pastel shades
   Filigree Femmes in lusts of jade
   While all around the bullets flew
   And the sun beats down
  
   Oh heavy heart, as deep as the endless sea
   A thought for every fish, why don't you let them be
   Your book's so frivol, but I'm tired of mine
   Show me some
  
   Make me laugh and make me sing
   Dancing girls
   Make me laugh and make me sing
   Dancing girls
  
   So many years but nothing's changed
   We curse the fire but we still feed it's flames
   My cards repeating the same sad song
   Why don't you put them down?
   Tonight is young, as young as she needs to be
   There's room for love, as much as there needs to be
   Show me a drink, show me a smile
   Show me some
  
   Make me laugh and make me sing
   Dancing girls
   Make me laugh and make me sing
   Dancing girls
