I had a dream but it turned to dust
And what I thought was love that must have been lust
I was living in style when the walls fell in
And when I played my hand I looked like a joker
Turn around Satan was a hooter
Cause lady luck she was waiting outside the door
I had a dream but it turned to dust
And what I thought was love that must have been lust
I was living in style when the walls fell in
And when I played my hand I looked like a joker
Turn around fate must have woke her
Cause lady luck she was waiting outside the door
I had a drink but it turned too dark
I had a dream but it turned to dust
I was living in smile
When I waltzed right in
or
I was living alone
With the Waltz Berlin
or
I was living alone
With the Waltz Berlin
I was living in style
When the walls fell in
I'm a wiggy, wiggy, wiggy, wiggy, wiggy
I love winning, winning, winning, winning, winning
I'm willing, I'm willing.
I'm winning, I'm winning.
Turn around, fakin' Mr. Wonka.
Turn around, fate must have woke her.
Turned around Satan must have woke up,
'cause lady luck s**t was out the door.
Turn around fate must have woke her
Cause lady luck she was waiting outside the door.
What I thought was gold,
it must've been dust.
What I thought was love,
it must've been lust.
I had a dream,
but it turned to dust.
What I thought was love,
it must've been lust.
