Made-up tears and made-up lives Made-up cheers and made-up minds In the made-up world, you pass the hours away Today The wind-up clock, the plastic flowers Little minds in ivory towers In the made-up world, you wind the hours away Today You erase If you could then maybe you should If you could then maybe you should A real gent, heaven-sent Close the vents at the Copacabana Your bombardier is in the clear Changing guard at the Copacabana Out on the floor, who'd ask for more? Count the cost at the Copacabana Smoke and mirrors at the Copacabana There's many ways through the maze C'est la vie a la Copacabana New equations at the Copacabana
