You take a trip down memory lane Back in the childhood days When everyday was an innocent game And life a fairy tale You're a twenty first century girl And hope is all you've got You place your bets on happy endings You know you're dreaming Just pretending you're not You hideaway in colour full dreams From the dark of night Sick of man sick of extremes And the world outside You face the day with false illusions Made up dreams and blind confusion Step into it open up your eyes Wake up to the real world Sleeping beauty you still fantasize Wake up to the real world What's it like in the world where you are In your secret place Do you feel love healin' your scars Do you feel embraced 'cause there your mind is free to wander Where no one's gonna steal your thunder Step into it open up your eyes Wake up to the real world Sleeping beauty you still fantasize Wake up to the real world Face the music don't you realize You're living in the real world Sleeping beauty out of your disguise Wake up to the real world oh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh You're living in a strange reality no no You only see what you wish to see aw Step into it open up your eyes Wake up to the real world Sleeping beauty you still fantasize Wake up to the real world Face the music don't you realize You're living in the real world Sleeping beauty out of your disguise Wake up to the real world Wake up to the real world Wake up to the real world
