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
