New Equations (At the Copacabana)

[Verse 1] Made-up tears and made-up lives Made-up cheers and made-up minds In the made-up world, you pass the hours away Today [Verse 2] The wind-up clock, the plastic flowers Little minds in ivory towers In the made-up world, you wind the hours away Today You erase [Bridge] If you could then maybe you should If you could then maybe you should [Verse 3] A real gent, heaven-sent Close the vents at the Copacabana Your bombardier is in the clear Changing guard at the Copacabana [Verse 4] Out on the floor, who'd ask for more? Count the cost at the Copacabana Smoke and mirrors at the Copacabana [Verse 5] There’s many ways through the maze C'est la vie a la Copacabana New equations at the Copacabana
