Nickel Dreams
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Till part of those dreams came alive
Chorus:
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 then 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
Repeat Chorus
Nickel a dream
Nickel dreams
