Lyrics - Mabeline
| Another day begins the curtains part to show the small town Days run into years without a trace Lighting up a cigarette, the lipstick stains her coffee cup, The mirror shows the lines upon her face |
|
| Mabeline, so full of passion Mabeline, so full of fire Mabeline, the Opera beckons Mabeline, she's never tired |
|
| She takes the cab down to the bar here, lechers sit and wait, Wipes the tables, smiles at their intent The dimming lights her cue to sing, her make-up shines her stockings cling, A siren on the catwalk for the rent |
|
| repeat chorus | |
| Sometimes when she leaves the club, she takes a cab uptown and stands Waiting for the Opera to begin She tells herself she gets no kicks from sleazy bars and turning tricks, It's just a way of waiting in the wings |
|
| repeat chorus | |
| Mabeline, no fear of falling Mabeline, so full of fire Mabeline, the Opera beckons Mabeline, she's never tired |
|
| repeat chorus | |
