lyrics

I was living in a dream
took a tiger from the zoo
I was living in a dream
I had a house in Timbuktu
I was living in a dream
You seemed to love me too
I was living in a dream

But dreams end when you wake up
Wake up!

I can't tell right from wrong
I got no moral intuition
I can't tell right from wrong
I freak out the working class
I can't tell right from wrong
But I know you did me wrong
I was living in a dream

But dreams end when you wake up
Wake up!

I shake myself awake
I focus on the truth
I shake myself awake
Throw you out with all the lies
I shake myself awake
I dance in the light of day
I was living in a dream

But dreams end when you wake up
Wake up!

I was living in a dream
took a tiger from the zoo
I was living in a dream
I had a house in Timbuktu
I was living in a dream
You seemed to love me too
I was living in a dream

But dreams end when you wake up
Wake up!
