Built in copper and in stainless steel Makes my building shine bright
Escalators filled with plaster and tiles Make my city rise
So I built it better, adding stone Built it even better, once more
I'm an actor in the sun I'm a loser in the dark
But it's not gonna be long Cause I know now that things come and go
Things come and go
Things come and go
Things come and go
If I had only known that all this China is in gold
If I had only known what's good for me is not for all
If I had only known what are all dreams made of
If I had only known I wouldn't have spent all of my days
Building the city in mine, a mountain of sand
Filled with carpets, made in Mohawk
Keeps my building warm
So I made it better, padding foam
Made in Mohawk
Made it even better, once more
I'm an actor in the sun
I'm a loser in the dark
Same story, on and on
But I know now that things come and
Things come and
I need to fight
I need to fight
I need to fight
If I had only known
Time
If I had only known
What's good for me is not for all
If I had only known

What are all dreams made of if I had only known?
