Wonderworld (Single Edit)

Here on the hill Where dreams become real You look down on the lights But they give you no thrill In the spotlight beams Lie a million schemes Yeah you came from the streets Took a ride to the coast You were lower than low Now you're bigger than most Come a long way kid Just like those pilgrims did To the wonderworld Where you live like a king But it don't mean a thing Nothing buys nothing So you'll always say The wonder it seems is just fading away, yeah All she desires The lawyers and such The letters she sent back Now she don't stay in touch Well you gave your heart Got it torn apart Now the rain falls like soup The palm trees will drown And all the smart money Is leaving this town And you stand alone This time your cover's blown In the wonderworld Take a ride down the chute You're the latest recruit The blank generation will take you away The wonder it seems Is just fading away In the wonderworld May your dreams become real Make you as young as you feel No one will help you if you make mistakes They're onto you now And they're all on the take In a dream I had About a brave new world With endless horizons And no wasted words When I woke up I was sweating I was cold I was wet I realized my life Hasn't even started yet No no No no No no, no No no In the wonderworld When the night becomes day Can you stand up and say This is all mine This is something I said This is my problem It's all in my head In the wonderworld They'll collect what you've got All the prisoners get shot Now don't think that success Is so easy to climb Your people keep falling Time after time after time Oh time after time after time after time I'm leaving today The wonder is fading away, fading away Fading away, fading away, fading away I gotta keep on moving I gotta keep on moving
