I’m safe in my dreams
You cannot, you cannot get to me
This is where I’m happy
In a world you’ll never see
And I-- am bored by conversation
‘Bout the same old things every day
Oh I never get tired of the way that my imagination
Seems to comfort me by faithfully never growing old
Chasing my tail around the globe
And I’m the only one who knows
it’s a game that I play
I’m not here to stay
Soon you’ll watch me fly away
To lands where children like me escape
Will I see the day that my dreams become real?
And as the good years slip away
Nothing is the same
But my imagination stayed
Chasing my tail around the globe
And I’m the only one who knows
it’s a game that I play
I’m not here to stay
Soon you’ll watch me fly away
To lands where children like me escape
