It sickens me to see,
Photograph in front of me, carnation coloured pink
Stand aside and take a drink,
Night club, another scene, 31st it's Halloween.,
Slave to each new trend, Uptown junkies push again,
The lovers and the wannabe's (they don't know how)
The radio's and TV's (they don't know how)
Newspaper story reads (they don't know how)
Cheap girl magazine (they don't know how)
Stand aside and cry, never wonder why,
Ask themselves why, the river has dried,
Laughter after three, shaped up to be free,
Number one the most missed chart,
Must have broke a thousand hearts,
Parallel with the scene, tarnished star evergreen,
Live life disguised.
The lovers and the wannabe's (they don't know how)
The radio's and TV's (they don't know how)
Newspaper story reads (they don't know how)
Cheap girl magazine (they don't know how)
Stand around and cry, never wonder why,
Ask themselves why, the river has dried
