NELLIE
We're the pleasures of the nighttime that fade at dawn,
Selling treasures of the nighttime til night is gone.
And then when the party's over, everybody's gone away,
We stare at an empty day - what is there to do or say?
Nighttime is where we live,
Night is when we give everything we have to give.
Most lovers can rejoice, we don't have a choice,
We just know we have to give.
That's why the day can never be bright
For the girls of the night.

LUCY
Somehow I know there's a someday that's just for me.
Everybody has a someday - so why not me?

NELLIE
Lucy, do you really need to fill your heart with empty dreams?
You'll always be what you are - stop chasing that distant star!
