Stars in Their Eyes
Long and lonely are those restless nights
As you toss and turn under neon lights
This city's heart can be oh so cruel
When dog-eat-dog is the Golden Rule
Where everything in life's for sale
In a rat-race on the grandest scale
Attracting suckers from all around
Full of hopes and dreams and Vegas bound
And I like many whose eyes are starred
Praying for the turn of a friendly card
Still trapped like that rat from Spring through Fall
Wave goodbye to the biggest fool of all
