Nickel Dreams |
| A little girl’s dream world with ribbons and long curls |
| Reflections of yesterday’s past |
| Now headlines and foot lights |
| The hours of long nights keep everything |
| Moving so fast |
| It’s taken a long time |
| And she’s walked a thin line |
| The fame and fortune arrived |
| She kept on striving |
| Way of surviving |
| Until part of those dreams came alive |
| And she wishes she looks like |
| They tell her she looks like all the time |
| What she’d give just to feel like |
| She tells them she’s feeling |
| Just fine |
| All that money she makes every night |
| Ain’t as much as it seems |
| A dollar a wrinkle and less than a nickel a dream |
| Her heart may be breaking |
| But she keeps on taking |
| What she thought she wanted way back when |
| It’s too late to change her |
| There’s always a stranger |
| To tell her she’s someone again |
| Nickel a dream |
| Nickel dreams |
