remember having dreams of grandeur
 I was gonna be someone, I know what I want
 Everybody played second best
 And I held you back just like all the rest
 I think I got what I want
 Everybody's got to fight their demons
 And you know I had to fight mine, too
 It took a lot out of me, it took a lot out of you

 To be living in oz, living in oz
 Sometimes the dream can wake you
 Living oz, living in oz
 Sometimes the dream can shock you, too

 All the money that I spend on you
 Doesn't mean a thing if the love's not true
 Baby please, I'll get what you want

 Can't you tell me you and me ain't lost
 I know what I did, I know what it cost
 Now I'm yours and I've got what you want

 All the fightin' will have been for nothin'
 If at the end I can't have you
 I'll throw it all away if that's what you want me to do
                                   Living in oz, living in oz
 Sometimes the dream can wake you
 Living in oz, living in oz
 Sometimes the dream can shake you, too

 Funny how desire can burn you up inside
 And make you commit emotional suicide
 Everybody's got the desire to leave their mark
 Some just do it over a trail of broken hearts

 And all the people that protect and serve
 would disappear if the well dried up
 I'm thirsty for affection
 Let me drink from your loving cup
                                   Living in oz, living in oz
 Sometimes the dream can shock you
 Living in oz, living in oz
 Sometimes the dream can rock you
 Living in oz, living in oz
 Sometimes the dream can shake you
 Living in oz, living in oz
 Sometimes the dream can wake you, too
