To touch the sky a dreamer must be. Someone who has more imagination than me. To reach the stars a dreamer must fly. Somehow he must live more of a lifetime than I.
One more compromise I won't be making. One more easy way out I won't be taking. So many chances don't come twice. So many eyes are made of ice. One more cheating hand I won't be shaking.
You drink the wine. You play the fool. You cross the line. You lose your cool. But no one cares. Still no one cares. . You raise the bar. Lost in a trance.
I find this Paradise and rest beside a river. No need to walk another mile. It seems like everyone has everything that wishes could provide. But no one seems to smile.
I prefer to spend my time in solitary ways. Keepin' myself to myself. Can't pretend that it's been easy since you went away. Livin' with somebody else.
(Ohhh). Somehow you fell out of time. Boy, you lost your place in line. But don't even try. To drag me down too. . I'm talkin' to you. I'm talkin' to you.
You don't fool me with your tinted eyes and make-up. The fire bird hides in shadow when you wake up. Your golden hair is black, your jeans are tight but your hide is slack.
"Go back home", you damn fool. Surely you know you can't win. You should've never have come near this place. You should have stayed outside. (Lookin' up).
There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains. And a wheel in perpetual motion. And they follow the races and pay out the gains. With no show of an outward emotion.
Another passenger, your baggage, thank you sir. I don't wanna go. What am I doing here? I feel so sick with fear. God, don't let it show. . I must control myself.
Lead vocal: leo sayer. . Suppose I were to tell you that the meaning of dreams. . Is not all that it seems and the ultimate truth is a lie.. . And you are just a puppet who can dance on a string..

Watching, waiting, rising, falling. Listening, calling, drifting. Touching, feeling, seeing, believing. Hoping, sending, leaving. . I couldn't say why you and I are Gemini.
