Dream Factory

Prince · Crystal Ball [1998]

This is what it's like in the Dream Factory, oh!



Hollyrock ain't all it seems (Lordy)

Don't get too serious, it's just a dream

Don't forget your friends, they're all you've got (Lordy)

Listen to the story of a man I am not



Party all night, hangin' out

In the streets more than I be at home

I take a pill to wipe away my doubts

But a pill can't cure my bein' alone

Vodka and seven straight to my brain

Put me under false impressions, hide all my pain

Somebody help me, I'm losing control



This is what it's like in the Dream Factory, oh!



Everybody got the big dreams (Hey Lordy)

But nobody got the bucks

Love and trust will help you make it in a world (Everybody)

Where there ain't no love, ain't no love



Dig...

A man came up to me, smile in his eyes

He told me I was a saint

So I'm quittin' my friends much to their surprise

I can't live up to the picture that they paint

Ah somebody help me, I'm losing control (Ow!)



I guess I'm just a sucker in the dream factory, oh!



Lordy

La, la, la, la, la (Sucker)

Got to drive

(It's just a dream) {x3}

Look out



Do you wanna party?

Do want a pill?

How about a false impression?

(Thrills, spills, chills)



This is what it's like in the Dream Factory, oh!



Ow! Yeah

Up a little bit

(Dream factory, oh)

Party all night, hang up on the side, I said "Uh"

(Do you wanna party?)

I can't make up my mind

(How about a false impression?)

I can't seem to live with no pictures (Thrills, spills, chills)

Somebody got to help me! (Just a sucker)

I'm losing control (Just a sucker)

I guess I'm just a sucker in the dream factory, oh!



Guess I'm just a sucker in the dream factory, oh!

(Just a sucker, motherf**ker!)
