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 |
