Well, I guess you were right about the dream   Yet, it's sad things are never what they seem   Like the promises you made but you never mean   The shadows of the things you've never seen      California's sunny all year 'round   Makes it easy to keep on hangin' 'round   And your dreams are locked away in that [Incomprehensible]   Gotta get your feet back on the ground      Lady, it's past time that you gotten wise   You got to get that stardust out of your eyes   You got to take a look at what you're doin'      And what are you thinkin' of?   What about all the things you love?   Can't you see the damage that you're doin'?      And it's past time that you gotten wise   You got to get that stardust out of your eyes   You got to take a look at what you're doin'      And what are you thinkin' of?   What about all the things you love?   Can't you see the damage that you're doin'?      All the sweet talk and promises you hear   Keep you hopin' the dream might still appear   But your hopes keep gettin' fainter every year   Voices start to echo in your ear      Lady, it's past time that you got wise   You got to get that stardust out of your eyes   You got to take a little look at what you're doin'      What are you thinkin' of?   What about all the things you love?   Can't you see the damage that you're doin'?      Well, it's past time that you gotten wise   You got to get that stardust out of your eyes   You got to take a look at what you're doin'      Well, honey, past time, past time   Get that stardust out of your mind   Past time, past time
