Song Lyrics

City life just leaves me weak
All this madness on the street
Need to get away today
Live my life a different way

Is it only a fantasy
To dream about a perfect me?

[Chorus: x2]
I want to live like beautiful people
Give like beautiful people
With like beautiful people around

Buy the latest magazine
And aspire to the dream
Perfect home and perfect kids
Not a life lived on the skids

Is it only fantasy
Or could it be reality?

[Chorus: x2]

Now I can see myself
Without a care in the world
It's a sun shining
Money spending
Green and healthy new world

Is it only fantasy
Or could it be reality?

[Chorus: x2]
