Living in My Dreams

I'm chasing memories through fields of green
Then falling upwards to the crystal queen
She strikes the bell and I'm seventeen
The power of my youth comes right back to me
But then the sun starts to rise
Such an unpleasant surprise
Oh no no no

'Cause I prefer living in my dreams
I prefer living in my dreams yeah
Waking up isn't what it seems no no no no
So I prefer living in my dreams yeah
Yeah no no no

It's the office walls when they're closing in
And no good mornings, just where've you been?
It's the ten missed calls at 8am
And the smell of diesel, and the taste of gin
It's when the sun starts to rise
Such an unpleasant surprise
Oh no

'Cause I prefer living in my dreams
I prefer living in my dreams yeah
Waking up isn't what it seems no no no
So I prefer living in my dreams yeah
Living in my dreams yeah yeah

Oh yeah no
And when the sun starts to rise
Such an unpleasant surprise
My demons stir and they wake
Leave me alone for goodness sake
Now I prefer living in my dreams
