As soon as my eyes shut the slide show begins   Yesterday is gone now and panic sets in   With a weight upon my chest   and a ghost upon my back   And the numbing sensation of everything   I lack that leaves me   Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming,   Your real world away      Only beautiful, beautiful bright eyes, lie   Only beautiful, beautiful bright eyes cry   Late morning lullaby      The first sign of morning is gray and alarming   It's so disappointing the day has come so soon   While the rest of the world greets the day and feels new   I will push it away just like I always do, I will be   Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming,   Your real world away      Only beautiful, beautiful bright eyes, lie   Only beautiful, beautiful bright eyes cry   Late morning lullaby   Late morning lullaby      I would darken my window so I can fall asleep   While the critics frown down on the hours   I keep that leave me   Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming,   Your real world away
