Darling, come sit.
You’re such a dream, could you lose yourself
in it?
Look at the way the curtains billow in the
midsummer air.
Look at the way the skyline shimmers in a
midnight glare.
Isn’t it so angelic?
and isn’t just so psychedelic?
For a moment narrow your eye and it just
might,
block out the flashing lights.
And for a moment, take in the view.
The palace that sits on Fifth Avenue.
That underneath all the diamonds and glitz,
is just a plain old ritz.
Look up at the sky shining ultramarine.
Effervescently, unexpectedly pristine.
It’s just a shatter box, one knock, and the
pieces drop
Turn your face toward the beaming sun.
Darling keep your hand away, you’ll ruin all
the fun
oh
aren’t we all just passing by under minimum
wage?
Doesn’t everyone want to be front and
center,
at the world’s most decadent stage?
So let the champagne splash.
Let the burst of colors clash.
To form one beautiful mirage,
that’s as pretty as a fresh new corsage.
Revel in the gold and the glamour and the
gorgeous.
Let the decade of the age be a 40 foot wall
fortress,
That blocks everything from getting in.
And keeps you held within.
And once your tucked inside our prized cage
Look around, you’re in the gilded age.
