[Intro]


[Verse 1]
             
I once would r

        
eceive invitat

ions
           
For cocktails 

              
on top of the 

 
Ritz
             
I'd take witho

     
ut hesitation
            
All of the gla

     
mour and glitz
             
But I'll let y

      
ou in on a sec

ret
           
Diamonds are j

          
ust little roc

ks

At broad dayli

ght

They sparkle s

o bright
           
There's not mu

              
ch to see in t

   
he dark

[Verse 2]
             
I once had a v

       
intage Ferrari
           
Gave it to Jea

       
n-Luc Godard
             
Crossed many s

         
eas on a hot a

ir balloon
            
To spoonfeed t


he lions cavia

r
             
I soon develop

      
ed an interest
           
To come home a

         
nd kick off my

 shoes
           
Crank up my ol

         
d Victroller
           
Cause there's 

             
nothing like f

           
eeling the blu

[Bridge]
            
Nothing can ea

        
se the heartac

he
            
From that boy 

      
going away
            
The Ritz is no

           
 fun at a tabl

e for one
            
It's all folly

             
 and phony I'd

#  
 say

[Verse 3]
             
I've meditated

        
 with Ghandi
            
Then sailed to

             
 Bali for an a

          
fternoon swim
             
Still couldn't

              
 shake off the

  
 longing
            
For one more t

             
omorrow with h

im
             
So I'll drink 

              
a toast to the

 
 memories
            
Of all that we

          
 used to be
           
All that I hav

              
e are these da


ydreams
         
Until he comes

           
 back to me
      
Oooh  ooooh

 

[Outro]
            
I've come to t

             
his final conc

lusion
             
Of things that

            
 are not to be
           
Life's a despa

            
iring illusion
         
Until he comes

          
 back to me
    
Oooh  ooooh
