[Verse 1]
Can't you see, love and affection
When it's put in your direction?
Wrapped in your mysterious wo-honderland
No fast car can make you grow up
Gentlemen, you think you've sown up
Locked in your wonderful wo-honderland
[Pre-Chorus 1]
No dark horse like me
Can cramp all of your style
Too plain and simple
I am for your file
[Chorus 1]
One day you will break out of your spell
And some day you will want me for your own
And I'll say, "Welcome to reality"
[Verse 2]
All this talk of late-night parties
Flirting with the lower gentry
Lost in your magical wonderland
Out of depth, out of class
Phase of your life will come to pass
Caught in this tragical wo-honderland
[Pre-Chorus 2]
All of the riches
That shine will turn sour
Each moment you slip
You will bring near the hour
[Chorus 2]
And one day you will break out of your spell
And some day you will want me for your own
And I'll say, "Welcome to reality"
[Slide guitar solo]
[Outro]
Wrapped in your mysterious wonderland
Caught in your superficial
Nonexistent fairy-story wonderland
[Restarted instrumental playing with additional instrumental fills]
[Ad-libs]
Caught in your tragical wonderland
Wonderland
Mysterious wonderland
Wonderland
