Dream World
The Monkees · Original Album Series [2012]
You don't care
Why must you walk when you know
You're not going anywhere?
Why don't you come out of your dream world?
It's not real
It's not the way it seems to be
Why don't you come into the real world?
Come with me
We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams
You'll see
Always pretending that everything's fine
When it's not
Oh, why do you lie when you know
That you'll always get caught?
Why don't you come out of your dream world?
It's not real
It's not the way it seems to be
Why don't you come into the real world
Come with me
We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams
You'll see
Why don't you come out of your dream world?
It's not real
It's not the way it seems to be
Why don't you come into the real world?
Come with me
We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams
You'll see
You'll see
You'll see
