It's getting late, but I'll wait up to greet the dawn Pour some Champagne and refrain, from moving on There's got to be more than this to our simple serenades I'm waiting 'til the spot light fades A case of Vanity Kills, they're all up for the thrills But not the working darlin' Life's a roll of a dice, but you'll pay the price When that curtain falls Another place, another name Another sleepless night But still they come, they adore How could I not oblige There's got to be more than this to our simple serenades I'm waiting 'til the spotlight fades A case of Vanity Kills, they're all up for the thrills But not the working darlin' Life's a roll of a dice, but you'll pay the price When that curtain falls Caught in this constant flow of flattery Is there no getting by the sound But still that thoughts ringing out There's got to be something more than, something more than this A case of Vanity Kills, they're all up for the thrills But not the working darlin' Life's a roll of a dice, but you'll pay the price When that curtain falls
