Casting lines that have no meaning
Wasting time and only dreaming
Fasting is just part of preening
Lasting can be so demeaning

Fishing for a compliment
Wishing it was really meant
Dishing out the sentiment
When only flowers pay the rent

All alone and all together now

The carousel is going round
The band is playing without a sound
The music box has been unwound
The Brooklyn bridge is falling down
