To New York she came to find success
In a scenery where nothing was less than best
In a world of pretty people of wealth and compromise

For New York she left him in the dark
For the glamour and the colors of Broadway's spark
You see the flame of illusion in her eye

And so she just goes on dancing, wishing dreams last forever
While the darkness hides a world that is better
In her golden war there's no hero

I'll be late, he calls her in the night
While she's waiting in a bed with champagne on ice
And maybe something is wrong but she won't see

And so she just goes on dancing, wishing dreams last forever
While the darkness hides a world that is better
In her golden war there's no hero
Dancing, wishing dreams last forever
While the darkness hides a world that is better
In her golden war there's no hero

In the sky again she's feeling low
While the helicopter hovers the world below
There's no reason for believing that life is in the glide

Now at night she wants to sleep alone
Just her powders and her booze by the telephone
With such beautiful friends and weekends, how can she cry?

And so she just goes on dancing, wishing dreams last forever
While the darkness hides a world that is better
In a golden war there's no hero
