Living in My Dreams

I'm chasing memories through fields of green Then falling upwards to the crystal queen She strikes the bell and I'm seventeen The power of my youth comes right back to me But then the sun starts to rise Such an unpleasant surprise Oh no no no 'Cause I prefer living in my dreams I prefer living in my dreams yeah Waking up isn't what it seems no no no no So I prefer living in my dreams yeah Yeah no no no It's the office walls when they're closing in And no good mornings, just where've you been? It's the ten missed calls at 8am And the smell of diesel, and the taste of gin It's when the sun starts to rise Such an unpleasant surprise Oh no 'Cause I prefer living in my dreams I prefer living in my dreams yeah Waking up isn't what it seems no no no So I prefer living in my dreams yeah Living in my dreams yeah yeah Oh yeah no And when the sun starts to rise Such an unpleasant surprise My demons stir and they wake Leave me alone for goodness sake Now I prefer living in my dreams
