Neil Sedaka - Cardboard california lyrics

rate me

Nothing is real in cardboard California

Just waking up brings you down

One lousy deal is cardboard California

You just can't survive in a make believe town

Lost in a city of little tin gods

Cold plastic people with phoney facades

How can you win when you look at the odds

You're running down a one way street

Nobody cares if you survive

Sometimes you beg or you don't eat

You gotta fight to stay alive

Hey, you're never gonna get away

Where 's the world you used to know

Where did all the good times go

Look around your hopes and dreams are gone

But like a fool you still keep hanging on

Music

Come and be a movie star

Come and drive a fancy car

Come and see, what you really are

Look in the mirror, mirrors don't lie

You're getting older, your time's past you by

You lost your shot to some younger guy

You're running down a one way street

Nobody cares if you survive

Sometimes you beg or you don't eat

You gotta fight to stay alive

Hey, you're never gonna get away

Nothing is real in cardboard California

Just waking up brings you down

One lousy deal is cardboard California

You just can't survive in a make believe town<br />
