the ticket window won't open until you start believing
 in the wonders you once found in a fabric store uptown
 while the horoscope proves wet paper on the ground

 you belly-flop across life's little hurdles
 night clubs and yo-yo diets turning
 turning you in circles

 well reality doesn't care if you do or don't dye your hair
 whatever you choose
 don't let your soul vanish in thin air

 half asleep (half asleep)
 you may take this song for granted
 half alive
 life is disenchanting sometimes

 the escalator to fortune somehow eludes you
 mixing m&m's and essential oils
 doesn't always work for you
 and what of deserted homes where the dear and dysfunctional roam
 wrap it up with a letter and a bow

 half asleep (half asleep)
 you may take this song for granted
 half alive
 life is disenchanting sometimes
 disenchanting sometimes
