The State Of Dreaming
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.
Millions of girls float on that one quote
Living on their last hope, on their last hope
I lived my life inside a dream
Only waking when I sleep
I would sell my sorry soul
If I could have it all
My life is a play
Is a play
Is a play
My life is a play
Is a play
Is a play
Yeah I've been living
In the state of dreaming
Living in a make-believe land
Living in the state of dreaming
Of dreaming, of dreaming
All I really want is to be wonderful
People in this town they, they can be so cruel
I lived my life inside a dream,
Only waking when I sleep
If I could sell my sorry soul
I would have it all
My life is a play
Is a play
Is a play
My life is a play
Is a play
Is a play
Yeah, I've been living
In the state of dreaming
Living in a make-believe land
Living in the state of dreaming
Of dreaming, of dreaming
If only you knew my dear
How I lived my life in fear
If only you knew my dear
How I know my time is near
Yeah, I've been living
In the state of dreaming
Living in a make-believe land
Living in the state of dreaming
Of dreaming, of dreaming
Yeah, I've been living
In the state of dreaming
Living in a make-believe land
Living in the state of dreaming
Of dreaming, of dreaming
My life is a play
