To New York she came to find success In a scenery where nothing was less than best In a world of pretty people of wealth and compromise For New York she left him in the dark For the glamour and the colors of Broadway's spark You see the flame of illusion in her eye And so she just goes on dancing, wishing dreams last forever While the darkness hides a world that is better In her golden war there's no hero I'll be late, he calls her in the night While she's waiting in a bed with champagne on ice And maybe something is wrong but she won't see And so she just goes on dancing, wishing dreams last forever While the darkness hides a world that is better In her golden war there's no hero Dancing, wishing dreams last forever While the darkness hides a world that is better In her golden war there's no hero In the sky again she's feeling low While the helicopter hovers the world below There's no reason for believing that life is in the glide Now at night she wants to sleep alone Just her powders and her booze by the telephone With such beautiful friends and weekends, how can she cry? And so she just goes on dancing, wishing dreams last forever While the darkness hides a world that is better In a golden war there's no hero
