It's four in the afternoon
|
I'm on a flight leaving L.A.
|
Trying to figure out my life and
|
My youth scattered along the highway
|
|
Hotel rooms and headlines
|
I've made a living with a song
|
Guitar as my companion
|
Wanting desperately to belong
|
|
Fame is filled with spoiled children
|
we grow fat on fantasy
|
I guess that's why I'm leaving
|
I crave reality
|
|
So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
|
Goodbye yellow brick road
|
There is a difference between dreaming and pretending
|
I did not find paradise
|
It was only a reflection of my lonely mind wanting
|
whats been missing in my life
|
|
I'm embarassed to say the rest is a rock and roll cliche
|
I hit the bottom when I reached the top
|
but I never knew it was you who was breaking my heart
|
I thought you had to love me
|
But you did not
|
|
Yes, a heart can hallucinate
|
If it's completely starved for love
|
It can even turn monsters into
|
Angels from above
|
|
You forged my love just like a weapon
|
And turned it against me like a knife
|
You broke my last heartstring
|
But you opened up my eyes
|
|
So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
|
Goodbye yellow brick road
|
There is a difference between dreaming and pretending
|
That was not love in your eyes
|
It was only a reflection of my lonely mind searching
|
For whats been missing in my life
|
|
And growing up is not an absence of dreaming
|
Its being able to understand the difference between
|
The ones you can hold and the ones that you've been sold
|
But dreaming is a good thing
|
Cause it brings new things to life
|
Pretending is an ending
|
That perpetuates a lie
|
Forgetting what you are
|
Seeing for what you've been told
|
|
Truth is stranger than fiction
|
this is my chance to get it right
|
Life is much better without all of those pretty lies
|
|
So Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
|
You can keep your yellow brick road
|
Cause there is a difference between dreaming and pretending
|
These are not tears in my eyes
|
They are only a reflection of my lonely mind finding
|
They are only a reflection of my lonely mind finding
|
I've found whats missing in my life
|
