Julie was a girl of modest means
Used to a high school beauty queen
Wound up on the wrong end of her dream
And said, "Never again"Started livin' life for the bottom line
Married her a man well past his prime
Forty million dollars and not much time
Now she's payin' for the perfect crime onBlue, blue money
Though it spend the same
It will buy you everything but love
Oh blue, blue money
When the devil gets your soul
All that's left is a heartache made of goldHe bought her a house in the Hollywood hills
There were parties and the room was filled with
Stars fallin' from the usual thrills, yeah
It was fun for a whileBut there's a prison in paradise
They never tell you when they throw the rice
That pretty mirrors don't look so nice
When you're standing on the desperate side ofBlue, blue money
Though it spend the same
It will buy you everything but love
Oh blue, blue money
When the devil gets your soul
All that's left is a heartache made of goldIt's a Saturday night again
The same faces come tricklin' in
She's got a lover but he ain't no friend
He's just someone to holdShe feels alone and she steps outside
Stares out at the valley lights
Pours a drink and she starts to cry
She's got it all and she can't get by onBlue, blue money
Though it spend the same
It will buy you everything but love
Oh, blue, blue money
When the devil gets your soul
All that's left is a heartache
When the devil gets your soul
All that's left is a heartache, a heartache made of goldOh blue, blue money
