The State of Dreaming Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Millions of girls float on that one quote
Living on their last hope, on their last hope
I live my life inside a dream, only waking when I sleep
I would sell my sorry soul if I could have it all
[Pre-Chorus]
My life is a play, is a play, is a play
My life is a play, is a play, is a play
[Chorus]
Yeah, I've been living in the state of dreaming
Living in a make-believe land
Living in the state of dreaming
Of dreaming, of dreaming
[Verse 2]
All I really want is to be wonderful
People in this town they, they can be so cruel
I live my life inside a dream, only waking when I sleep
If I could sell my sorry soul, I would have it all
[Pre-Chorus]
My life is a play, is a play, is a play
My life is a play, is a play, is a play
[Chorus]
Yeah, I've been living in the state of dreaming
Living in a make-believe land
Living in the state of dreaming
Of dreaming, of dreaming
[Bridge]
If only you knew my dear
How I live my life in fear
If only you knew my dear
How I know my time is near
[Chorus]
Yeah, I've been living in the state of dreaming
Living in a make-believe land
Living in the state of dreaming
Of dreaming, of dreaming
Living in the state of dreaming
Living in a make-believe land
Living in the state of dreaming
Of dreaming, of dreaming
[Outro]
My life is a play, is a play, is a play
