In The Name Of Money Lyrics - Gino Vannelli

The sun rises after midnight 

Big dreamers never sleep 

She takes a slow walk in the red light 

Wishin' on the stars in concrete 

Jet black roots under alabaster hair 

Betty Grable legs gonna get her somewhere 

She's runnin' every light on the road to recognition 

[Chorus:] 

Under one condition 

In the name of money 

In the name of fame 

Anything goes 

When you play that game 

In the name of money 

In the name of fame 

You gotta stick it out 

If you want to claim your fame 

So some hotshot in a rag top 

Gets her on the silver screen 

A hundred mirrors far a backdrop 

But her face was never seen 

Agents of love, devils in disguise 

They're blowin' smoke in the little girl's eyes 

Yeah, she'll sign the dotted line and fall into submission 

[Chorus] 

Someday she'll be a leading lady 

In a baby blue Mercede' 

When she's rich and famous 

Her scandals will entertain us 

The badder the better 

Jet black roots under alabaster hair 

Betty Grable legs gonna get her somewhere 

She's runnin' every light on the road to recognition 

[Chorus]
