I shout down the line but could not get through
Cause the telephone never rings when you want it to

Oh, now you're wide awake in dreamland
Oh, now you're wide awake in dreamland

Words of love take your breath away
Just a game that you like to play oh no
Sleepwalking through a world of pain
Just another pretty face in the romeo rain

Oh, now you're wide awake in dreamland
Oh, now you're wide awake in dreamland
Chemical decisions never turn out like you planned
Now you're wide awake in dreamland

(Solo)

Now you're wide awake in dreamland

You know your paint by number life does not excite you
It's a watercolour world that you're livin' in
And when you close your eyes at night
You're wondering just where you've been

You were young when you heard the call
Saw it all in your crystal ball and chains
A problem child who could pick and choose
When the sandman calls your name you cannot refuse

Oh, now you're wide awake in dreamland
Oh, now you're wide awake in dreamland
Chemical decisions never turn out like you planned
Now you're wide awake in dreamland, in dreamland, in dreamland
