I took a long hard look At the heroes of my youth And their antics on the page they're on Can no longer sustain me
Ever since I was a boy
They brought me joy But the shackles of the way I was Can no longer contain me It was exciting And enlightening Reverberating through my dreams Goodbye to reality And set a course for wayward schemes
Now I can't sing I can't feel
I don't know what is real I was travelling through the past for years Tell me what's my destination Now the past is gone I don't even have a song
We've not sung before To a closing door Tell me what's my situation I saw the film I lived the book I got the haircut That's all it took
But now I know it's going to take A little more now I'm awake
I took along hard look Now I'm waiting for the phone to ring
I glance at the inbox Is there any tantalizing mail there in There was lust in my restless heart But now I know what true love means Goodbye to reality And set sail for dreamsy
