I took a? long hard look

At the heroes of my youth.

And their antics on the page there on

Can no longer sustain me

Ever since I was a boy

They brought me joy

But the shackles of the way I was

Can no longer contain me



It was exciting

And enlightening

Reverberating through my dreams

Goodbye to reality

And set a course for wayward schemes.



Now I can't sing

I can't feel

I don't know what is real.

I was travelling through the past for years

Tell me what's my destination

Now the past is gone

I don't even have a song

We've not sung before

To a closing door

Tell me what's my situation?



I saw the film,

I lived the book

I got the haircut

That's all it took

But now I know it's going to take

A little more now I'm awake



I took along hard look

Now I'm waiting for the phone to ring

I glance at the inbox

Is there any tantalising mail there in

There was lust in my restless heart

But now I know what true love means

Goodbye to reality

And set sail for dreamsy
