A prima donna or a debutante, you say 
A first offender, you had your chance, and you threw it away 
So, why don't you just get on your pony? 
And, ride out somewhere where you can be lonely 
All by yourself, instead of tellin' me 

Here we are, and we never get very far 
Things are never as you say they are 
And, you'd rather be somewhere else in time 
Anywhere, well you don't mind 

The legal tender was the motive for your shame 
You knew the truth, but never took the blame, you knew it was wrong 
But, never one to open your heart 
You held it inside till it tore you apart 
And, you couldn't go on, and now you're tellin' me 

Here we are, and we never get very far 
Things are never as you say they are 
And, you'd rather be somewhere else in time 
Anywhere, well you don't mind 
Waiting on a miracle, waiting on a miracle 
Waiting on a miracle, wasting all your time 

Under pressure till it got the best of you 
False images, silhouettes, the old and the new 
Nothing ventured, there's nothing gained 
You take your chance, it may never come again 
Then throw it away, and don't go tellin' me 

Here we are, and we never get very far 
Things are never as you say they are 
And, I'd rather be somewhere else in time 
Anywhere, well I don't mind 
Waiting on a miracle, waiting on a miracle 
Waiting on a miracle, wasting all your time 

It's all right, right-right, we're gonna shine all night long 
It's all right, we're right-right, we're gonna shine all night long 
It's all right, we're right-right, we're gonna shine all night long
