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
