You pick out your credit cards and check into the night
A dozen tequilas and you're feeling alright
So you swim to the disco,
out of your deck,
jaded jiggler
Your lucky charms are tarnished so you leave alone
But there's one place left to go before the taxi home
After all,
you've made your marks
One night you'll play Elizabeth Taylor
The next night you're Marilyn Monroe Little
kissin' frogs that think they're princes
Oh, Lady Nina,
where did all the romance go?
Your little sister baby says your husband
picks you up and sits The makeup hides the bruises and the tears
So they never show,
cos your beauty is the only thing you've ever owned
It's the only way you've ever known to make your marks
You made your marks
You made your marks
Lady Nina, I'd love to take you home with me
I love my life
and I love my family I gotta give it your responsibilities
And I need to keep respect
from society
I know you never act with me
I know that you're in love with me So
how do I compare to the sailors off the
ships of the night?
Was I alright?
Did you come tonight?
Lady Nina,
you made your marks
Ebony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red light
A needless plea,
I've seen to learn a lie for the night
Just make your marks Just make your marks
You made your marks
And you made your mark
Just make your marks
