Soon as my eyes shut the slide show begins
Yesterday is gone now and the panic sets in
With the weight upon my chest and a ghost upon my back
And the numbing sensation of everything I lack that leaves me
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, ooh
Your real world away

Oh and beautiful, beautiful bright eyes, try
Oh and beautiful, beautiful bright eyes cry
Oh and late morning lullaby

First sound of morning is gray and alarming
It's so disappointing and the day is gone so soon
While the rest of world greets the day and feels new
I will push it away just like I always do, I will be
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, ooh
Your real world away.
Oh and beautiful, beautiful bright eyes, lie
Oh and beautiful, beautiful bright eyes try
Oh and late morning lullaby
Yeah and late morning lullaby

And I will darken my window so I can fall asleep
While the critics frown down on the hours I cheat that leave me
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, ooh
Your real world away.
