This lavish life you are living across the sea
Will only leave you lonely
When the house lights rise and the cinemas empty
And your pinups come down from above their beds
So give up your film career
Though I wish you success
I know it's been picking up steam
I can see us in tableau:
You tight to my chest
A boy's gotta dream

So give up your film career
Though I wish you success
And drift back home to me
Like the steam around the station
On the day that I left

A boy’s gotta dream
