I was hanging round in a dead end town where dreams die And the only sound was the echo of goodbye in my mind I saw my choices beckon, like gold dust it the sky So I packed up my life, left my heart behind Was a heavy ride with a suitcase full of memories Got a picture of you and a vision of new horizons to fly I thought I had the answers to this emptiness inside But I guess fame wast just another place to hide Ambition, it's a funny old game Ambition, it drives a girl insane But money talks and failure walks alone Ambition, walk her into the fire Ambition, she needs a shot of desire So some poor fools like me and you can follow into the light It's a heavy road when you think you're going nowhere And the future holds all the same mistakes you tried to ignore My mamma tried to warn me but I said I did not care I wast fifteen pushing thirly, heading out that door Ambition, it's a funny old game Ambition, it drives a girl insane But money talks and failure walks alone Ambition, walk her into the fire Ambition, she needs a shot of desire So some poor fools like me and you can follow into the light She was born to dance in the spotlight 'Cause the feelin' inside is so right, tonight, so right, hey, hey I thought I had the answers to this emptiness inside But I guess fame wast just another place to hide, another place to hide Ambition, it's a funny old game Ambition, it drives a girl insane But money talks and failure walks alone Ambition, walk her into the fire Ambition, she needs a shot of desire So some poor fools like me and you can follow into the light
