  • It's getting late, but I'll wait up to greet the dawn
    Pour some Champagne and refrain, from moving on
    There's got to be more than this to our simple serenades
    I'm waiting 'til the spot light fades

    A case of Vanity Kills, they're all up for the thrills
    But not the working darlin'
    Life's a roll of a dice, but you'll pay the price
    When that curtain falls

    Another place, another name
    Another sleepless night
    But still they come, they adore
    How could I not oblige
    There's got to be more than this to our simple serenades
    I'm waiting 'til the spotlight fades

    A case of Vanity Kills, they're all up for the thrills
    But not the working darlin'
    Life's a roll of a dice, but you'll pay the price
    When that curtain falls

    Caught in this constant flow of flattery
    Is there no getting by the sound
    But still that thoughts ringing out
    There's got to be something more than, something more than this
    A case of Vanity Kills, they're all up for the thrills
    But not the working darlin'
    Life's a roll of a dice, but you'll pay the price
    When that curtain falls Writer/s: JOHN LAWLER, LOU HICKEY
