No reason to give up on the illusion
Take confident possession of yourself
Take confident possession of yourself
Decorate, paint it for the union
No reason to give up on the illusion
Under a spell we fell
It took my breath away
No reason to give up on the illusion
No reason to give up on the illusion
You've heard no greater sound
Spend every dollar saved
As much as we have made
No reason to give up on the illusion

Decorate, paint it for the union
Decorate, paint it for the union
Uptown in Paraguay

Decorate, paint it for the union
Venice is sinking fast
There's more, too much to tell
No reason to give up on the illusion
Too much can get you down
That doesn't happen every day
Take confident possession of yourself

Take confident possession of yourself
No reason to give up on the illusion
No reason to give up on the illusion
Decorate, paint it for the union
No reason to give up on the illusion
No reason to give up on the illusion
Manhattan's music, man
On every avenue
Take confident possession of yourself

No reason to give up on the illusion

No reason to give up on the illusion
Decorate, paint it for the union
Take confident possession of yourself
Looks almost upside down
Beneath Chicago moon
