(You've gotta wake up)
You don't commit to me, you won't make a start
You don't tell me no, you haven't got the heart
You sit in the chair or you lie in bed
With a faraway stare and a swollen head
Well listen here, my lover, I have had enough
And I can tell you, brother, I could fall in love
With someone who looks a lot like you
But gets up and does what he's thinking of
I can't wait another day
I can give and I can take
There's a choice you have to make
So many times things pass you by
Imagination running wild
You've got to start choosing right from wrong
Instead of daydreaming all day long
I want to catch a plane to an open space
I want to feel the sun shining on my face
But time is short and waiting is long
My patience is exhausted, I'm just not that strong
I want to see the parade, you wanna watch TV
So we don't do either, it's insanity
You say there's plenty of time, and life is good
So you never make your mind up, well, you never could
I can ask you when or why
And you'll look up to the sky
The parade is marching by
So many times things pass you by
Imagination running wild
You've got to start choosing right from wrong
Instead of daydreaming all day long
(Daydreaming) Oooh
(Daydreaming)
(Daydreaming)
(Daydreaming) Oooh
(Daydreaming)
(Daydreaming)
(You've gotta wake up, you've gotta wake up)
(Leave me alone, I'm only dreaming)
(You've gotta wake up, you've gotta wake up)
(Leave me alone, I'm only dreaming)
(You've gotta wake up, you've gotta wake up)
(I'm only dreaming)
I can't wait another day
I can give and I can take
There's a choice I have to make, oooh
So many times things pass you by
Imagination running wild
You've got to start choosing right from wrong
Instead of daydreaming all day long
So many times things passinShe saw that he closed the door
She stole a look in the guarded book
His prose was a line of crows
On a washing line in the summer time
And the wind blew the crows around
Some made the sky, some hit the ground
She never heard a fuller sound
It comes as no surprise;
She's in love with the dreamer,
So in love with his world.
He had songs you could sing along to
In any time, in any key.
They were jewels in elysian pools
In eternity for all to see
And the water helped the jewels to shine,
Some like the stars and some like wine
In the eyes of earthbound angels
It comes as no surprise...
He makes her close her eyes,
He helps her paint the skies blue.
And the seventh dream was, so surreal
When the dreamer broke the seventh seal
And butterflies all lost their wheels
It comes as no surprise...
