The Dollar

The neighbours say I'm glowing And everyone is starstruck And I wanna tell them that it's only My expensive makeup My tears they leave a shiny pattern As they go down 'Cause I'm no longer young And it's too late to come back now A-ha-ha-ha-ha I was running in circles I was losing my purpose A-ha-ha-ha-ha No one's coming for the rescue But I'll make it somehow 'Cause I see the world now The dollar that I dreamed of is the sand in the sieve The dollar that I got In the world of make believe The city is sparkling from the 20th floor But without the dollar It means nothing anymore Hey, the dollar Hey, the dollar Let me tell you the story of the girl who flew away Seven years later it feels just like yesterday Wasting her soul in the chase of her dreams Cause the view from the top is not at all what it seems A-ha-ha-ha-ha She was running in circles She was losing her purpose A-ha-ha-ha-ha No one's coming for the rescue But she's coming in strong And she's singing her song The dollar that I dreamed of is the sand in the sieve The dollar that I got In the world of make believe The city is sparkling from the 20th floor But without the dollar It means nothing anymore Hey, the dollar Hey, the dollar You'll walk a thousand miles until you find a pile of gold You'll build a wall of diamonds and you'll have no one to hold I'll go back on the road where you find joy in the unseen 'Cause happiness will never be the shade of muddy green Hey, the dollar Hey, the dollar Hey, the dollar Oh-oh World of make believe Sand in the sieve It means nothing anymore The dollar The dollar
