A friend once said I don't understand Why do you hide your head in the sand He said I was running away I'd have to face the truth one day Someday soon But in the meantime I'll drink some more wine And carry on Though I know it's wrong So let me live in a fantasy world I wanna live in a fantasy world For reality is not for me And so I need a sanctuary A hideaway, a hideaway Just let me live in a fantasy world I wanna live in a fantasy world A fantasy world, a fantasy world When all your prized possessions are gone Where would you find the strength to go on And when the sun up in the sky Begins to fade, ceases to shine Close your eyes, oh then you Begin to unwind The clock in your mind And suddenly do the same as me So let me live in a fantasy world I wanna live in a fantasy world For reality is not for me And so I need a sanctuary A hideaway, a hideaway Just let me live in a fantasy world I wanna live in a fantasy world A fantasy world, a fantasy world
