Pocketful of Dreams

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Vanity's her only charity And she makes donations at the Tiffany's Life is hard without a credit card to get by, get by She sold her dreams for security To a man that now she hardly ever sees With a cold Martini in her hand, she don't mind, don't mind [Pre-Chorus] So throw all your luxuries aside You can't take them with you when you die Still when I look into your eyes They're full of dollar signs [Chorus] Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams Oh, take a chance, don't matter if you fail You're too scared to try 'cause you might break a nail, oh [Verse 2] If you desire a plastic happiness Then climb the social ladder to the top, my friend And don't forget to thank the piggy bank in the sky, so high [Pre-Chorus] So throw all your luxuries aside You can't take them with you when you die Still when I look into your eyes They're full of dollar signs [Chorus] Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams Oh, take a chance, don't matter if you fail You're too scared to try 'cause you might break a nail, oh Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams Oh, take a chance, don't matter if you fail You're too scared to try 'cause you might break a nail, oh [Chorus] 2x Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams Oh, take a chance, don't matter if you fail You're too scared to try 'cause you might break a nail, oh Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams Oh, take a chance, don't matter if you fail You're too scared to try 'cause you might break a nail, oh
