(In My) Wildest Dreams

When you had a brief encounter with your fortune and your fame
Well, I stood beside and watched the fans that followed
I saw you from a distance
And I heard them call your name
But you winked at me as if to say, I'm sorry
Yeah, you winked at me as if to say, I'm sorry
In my wildest dreams, in my wildest dreams
The more I get to know you, the less that I admire
I fade as the unholy light surrounds you
Well, I'm mystified you got so high
You had so far to fall
What you don't own you beg, you steal, you borrow
What you don't own you beg, you steal, you borrow
In my wildest dreams, in my wildest dreams
I never felt this close to you, I never will again
As you gaze at me from on your ivory tower
You're pretending to be happy
You're pretending to be free
As you watch the minutes slowly turn to hours
As you watch the minutes slowly turn to hours
In my wildest dreams ...
