The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Movin' light, dream machinery
Crashin' in, through my balcony - oh no
I shout down the line but could not get through
Cause the telephone never rings when you want it to
Ooh, ooh...now you're wide awake in dreamland
Ooh, ooh...now you're wide awake in dreamland
Words of love take your breath away
Just a game that you like to play - oh no
Sleepwalking through a world of pain
Just another pretty face, in the romeo rain
Ooh, ooh...now you're wide awake in dreamland
Ooh, ooh...now you're wide awake in dreamland
Chemical decisions never turn out like you planned
Now you're wide awake in dreamland
Now you're wide awake in dreamland
You know your paint by number life does not excite you
It's a watercolor world that you're livin' in
And when you close your eyes at night
You're wonderin', just where you've been
You were young when you heard the call
Saw it all in your crystal ball and chains
A problem child who can pick and choose
When the sandman calls your name, you cannot refuse
Ooh, ooh...now you're wide awake in dreamland - ooh
Ooh, ooh...now you're wide awake in dreamland
Chemical decisions never turn out like you planned
Now you're wide awake in dreamland
In dreamland
In dreamland
