life is a dead end street oh but the music s sweet shine in your finery for a day tonight oh marianne let s hold on while we can tomorrow will come and we will be gone our lives are drifting sand here on the silver strand we talk in a spanish hand we sing siempre a la moda mi corazon oh marianne let s hold on while we can tomorrow will come and we will be gone our lives are drifting sand oh marianne let s close our eyes and dream and live in a song where nothing is wrong and there s a place for you and me the world is a sad place so put on a brave face and dance make a wish on a wild wind let it fly to the world s end and dance and dance and dance oh marianne let s hold on while we can tomorrow will come and we will be gone our lives are drifting sand oh marianne let s close our eyes and dream and live in a song where nothing is wrong and there s a place for you and me oh marianne let s hold on while we can tomorrow will come and we will be gone our lives are drifting sand oh marianne let s close our eyes and dream and live in a song where nothing is wrong and there s a place for you and me
