Ever since I was a kid
|
I remember having dreams of grandeur
|
I was gonna be someone, I know what I want
|
|
Everybody played second best
|
And I held you back just like all the rest
|
I think I got what I want
|
|
Everybody's got to fight their demons
|
And you know I had to fight mine, too
|
It took a lot out of me, it took a lot out of you
|
|
To be living in oz, living in oz
|
Sometimes the dream can wake you
|
Living oz, living in oz
|
Sometimes the dream can shock you, too
|
|
All the money that I spend on you
|
Doesn't mean a thing if the love's not true
|
Baby please, I'll get what you want
|
|
Can't you tell me you and me ain't lost
|
I know what I did, I know what it cost
|
Now I'm yours and I've got what you want
|
|
All the fightin' will have been for nothin'
|
If at the end I can't have you
|
I'll throw it all away if that's what you want me to do
|
|
Living in oz, living in oz
|
Sometimes the dream can wake you
|
Living in oz, living in oz
|
Sometimes the dream can shake you, too
|
|
Funny how desire can burn you up inside
|
And make you commit emotional suicide
|
Everybody's got the desire to leave their mark
|
Some just do it over a trail of broken hearts
|
|
And all the people that protect and serve
|
would disappear if the well dried up
|
I'm thirsty for affection
|
Let me drink from your loving cup
|
|
Living in oz, living in oz
|
Sometimes the dream can shock you
|
Living in oz, living in oz
|
Sometimes the dream can rock you
|
Living in oz, living in oz
|
Sometimes the dream can shake you
|
Living in oz, living in oz
|
Sometimes the dream can wake you, too
|
