I love to waltz with a man in a dark linen suit
All alone at a party with someone I knew
From a time gone by turned into stoneYou could be Garbo or even Marlena
You could be Marilyn
Or you could forgetI play the part but then all of us do
And I do it so well as I do it to you
In this town full of strangers
In this town full of foolsVenus doesn't glitter when she stands next to you
When you're waltzing through stardom
You miss what you loseLose yourself in a silvery dress
For you think you must do what you feel you do best
And you mustn't give it up for you're still but a guestYou could be Garbo or even Marlena
Or you could forget
