You had your grand illusion And wrestled with your fate The winter of your discontent Came twenty years too late If it was love, and I was there I've forgotten where it lives We both stepped off a frozen rock Onto a burning bridge You came like an invasion All bells and whistles blowing Reaping the rewards Of the fable you'd been sowing I saw you cross the landing Descending marble stairs Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon You seemed to walk on air And yeah I've seen your movie And I read it in your book SongtexteThe truth just flew off every page Your songs have all the hooks You're seven wonders rolled in one You've shifted gears to cruise Oh you came to town in Helas!(?) And eight hundred dollar shoes Oh the bellboys are crying And monies changing hands Your cloak and dagger legacies Gone home to No Man's Land The marquee lights are flickering Your posters fading fast Your being here just melts away Like ice cubes in a glass And yeah I've seen your movie And I read it in your book The truth just flew off every page Your songs have all the hooks You're seven wonders rolled in one You've shifted gears to cruise Oh you came to town in Helas!(?) And eight hundred dollar shoes Oh you came to town in Helas!(?) And eight hundred dollar shoes Aus Songtexte Mania
