You take a trip down memory lane Back in the childhood days When everyday was an innocent game And life a fairy tale You're a twenty first century girl And hope is all you've got You place your bets on happy endings You know you're dreaming, just pretending you're not You hide away in colourfull dreams From the dark of night Sick of man, sick of extremes And the world outside You face the day with false illusions Made up dreams and blind confusion Step into it, open up your eyes Wake up to the real world Sleeping beauty you still fantasize Wake up to the real world So what's it like in in the world where you are In your secret place Do you feel love healing your scars? Do you feel embraced? 'Cause there your mind is free to wander Where no one's gonna steal your thunder Step into it, open up your eyes Wake up to the real world Sleeping beauty you still fantasize Wake up to the real world Face the music don't you realize You're living in the real world Sleeping beauty out of your disguise You're living in a strange reality In another world You only see what you wish to see Step into it, open up your eyes Wake up to the real world Sleeping beauty you still fantasize Wake up to the real world Face the music don't you realize You, re living in the real world Sleeping beauty out of your disguise Wake up to the real world!
