B E G A
You get your sunshine from a tab of paper
B E G A
Then you're sitting in a spinning room
B E G A
The clock is tocking and it's laughing at you
B E G A
You're life's a mystery without a clue
B E G A
The crowd you're in thinks you're so amusing
B E G A
They're oh so flattering and so sincere
B E G A
They stand and laugh as they watch you crumble
B E G A
And when you cry for help they don't hear

I hear you laughing in the rain
You say you can't tell any difference
Between the pleasure and the pain
You say you never ever dream at night time
You say you only dream when you're awake
And say that T.V. looks like your life
And the life you lead is fake
