Pocketful Dreams Songtext / Lyric

Vanity's her only charity,
And she makes donations at the Tiffany's
Life is hard without a credit card to get by, get by She sold her dreams for security
To a man that now she hardly ever sees
With a cold martini in her hand she don't mind, don't mind So throw all your luxuries aside
You can' take them with you when you die
Still when I look into your eyes
They're full of dollar signs

Reach into a pocketful of dreams
Now, before they fall out of the seems
Take a chance don't matter if you fail
You're too scared to try cause you might breake a nail

If you desire a plastic happiness
Then climb the social ladder to the top my friend
And don't forget to thank the piggy bank in the sky, so high

So throw all your luxuries aside
You can' take them with you when you die
Still when I look into your eyes
They're full of dollar signs

Reach into a pocketful of dreams
Now, before they fall out of the seems
Take a chance don't matter if you fail
You're too scared to try cause you might breake a nail
