[Verse 1]
Vanity's her only charity
And she makes donations at the Tiffany’s
Life is hard without a credit card to get by, get by

She sold her dreams for security
To a man that now she hardly ever sees
With a cold Martini in her hand, she don’t mind, don’t mind

[Pre-Chorus]
So throw all your luxuries aside
You can’t take them with you when you die
Still when I look into your eyes
They're full of dollar signs

[Chorus]
Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail
You’re too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh

[Verse 2]
If you desire a plastic happiness
Then climb the social ladder to the top, my friend
And don’t forget to thank the piggy bank in the sky, so high
[Pre-Chorus]
So throw all your luxuries aside
You can’t take them with you when you die
Still when I look into your eyes
They're full of dollar signs

[Chorus]
Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail
You’re too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh

Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail
You’re too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh

[Chorus] 2x
Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail
You’re too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh

Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams
Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams
Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail
You’re too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh
