Alice D. Millionaire

You say you're living in a world of trouble
All your schemes have popped like a bubble
Your mother told your sister
And your brother told your friend
Now your secret's out
And you don't have to pretend
You can see for yourself
It's really not the end

You're standing there with tears in your eyes
There's too much going on now
There's no time to cry

You say the walls are closing in on you
Child all your friends have put you in exile
Bad luck seems to follow you
All around the world
You can't seem to find no peace of mind, girl
You will take a chance to seem so bad

You're standing there with tears in your eyes
There's too much going on now
There's no time to cry

Every minute is a brand new day
And there are some games that
I'd just love to play
Even bad scenes are for real
There's no time to cry

Since you left your old scene behind you
Go ahead and let the green light find you
It's warm and friendly, girl
And it won't blind you
Come out in the street and
The weeds won't grind you
See the love is in the air
You feel it all around you

You're standing there with tears in your eyes
There's too much going on now, no time to cry

Your yesterdays are all left behind
There's a brand new light in your mind
You don't need a key to define
What's written on the magic sign
There's no time to cry

When the season of the magic lantern
Is transformed into a funny pattern
And the wheel of fortune has a flat tire
You can't seem to get any higher
When you go above the machine
You find a horseshoe

You're standing there with tears in your eyes
There's too much going on now, no time to cry
