Vanities are only charity
And she makes donations at the Tiffany's
Life is hard without a credit card to get by, get by
She sold her dreams for security
To a man that now she hardly ever sees
With a cold Martini in her hand, she don't mind, don't mind
[Pre-Chorus]
So throw all your luxuries aside
You can't take them with you when you die
Still when I look into your
Eyes are full of dollar signs
[Chorus]
Oh, reach, into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don't matter if you fail
You're too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh
If you design a plastic happiness
Then climb the social ladder to the top, my friend
And don't forget to thank the piggy bank in the sky, so high
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus] x2
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus] x4
