Dreamtime

I saw you standing and I felt your rage

Like a dark cloud on a crowded stage

You were talking through the smoke in your fantasy

I know you girl, I know what to believe

Maybe things ain't been so good at home

And the people that you love never cared at all

You want to run away, don't care where you go

You want to run away, run away, that's all you know

Believe it's alright to fantasize

And say the words you think will satisfy me

But you know better than that

'Cause you know what's a lie

You're living in dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)

It's time to wake up, ooh

You're living on dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)

It's time to shape up

In your dream, it's overcast

Rain comes down, moving your way fast

You want to run away, don't care where you go

You want to run away, run away, that's all you know

You turn a corner and you see a door

Walk on through, throw yourself on the floor

Oh, when you're looking up, it's no surprise

Standing there is a man with movie star eyes

You think he's gonna take care of you

The man with the plan that'll see you through

And I say there ain't no way

'Cause I know he's a lie

You're living in dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)

It's time to wake up, ooh

You're living on dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)

It's time to shape up, shape up

You're living on dreamtime (you want to run away)

Whoa-whoa

You're living on dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)

Want to run away, want to run away

I know

I say

You're living in dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)

Shape up

You're living on dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)

It's time to wake up

I never saw anybody fall apart so fast

You're living in dreamtime you know it ain't gonna last

Never saw anybody think she's so right and be so wrong

Living in dreamtime, it's hard to carry on, girl
