Where There's Gold

Step on the stage
 The lights the praise
 The curtain calls
 And the big parade
 You know that life all too well
 The promise the pain
 The valor the rage
 Hold up your hands
 For the bow and the wave
 You know his touch
 A little too well
 You throw yourself
 Into their arms
 Mistresses have all the fun
 But no one's ever there to take you home
 Box up your gloves and your
 Down coats
 Bound for the sun and the
 West coast
 Where upper crust tragedies abound
 A tip for the girl at the
 Coat check
 The guy at the door and the
 Bar back
 They know your face
 Oh so well
 But movies never made you famous
 All your dreams got lost or traded
 And all you ever cared about got lost
 But you were surely still an actress
 Older men would find attractive
 And all you ever dreamed of was the cost
 Where there's gold, there's a gold digger
 Where there's gold, there's a gold digger
 Where there's gold, there's a gold digger
 Where there's gold, there's a gold digger
 Where there's gold, there's a gold digger
 Where there's gold, there's a gold digger
 You throw yourself
 Into their arms
 Mistresses have all the fun
 But no one's ever there to take you home
