It sickens me to see

Photograph in front of me, carnation-colored 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 wannabes

(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 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 wannabes

(They don't know how)

The radio and TV

(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
