Movin' light, dream machinery
Crashin' in, through my balcony - oh no
I shout down the line but could not get through
Cause the telephone never rings when you want it to
Ooh, ooh...now you're wide awake in dreamland
Ooh, ooh...now you're wide awake in dreamland

Words of love take your breath away
Just a game that you like to play - oh no
Sleepwalking through a world of pain
Just another pretty face, in the romeo rain

Ooh, ooh...now you're wide awake in dreamland
Ooh, ooh...now you're wide awake in dreamland
Chemical decisions never turn out like you planned
Now you're wide awake in dreamland

Now you're wide awake in dreamland

You know your paint by number life does not excite you
It's a watercolor world that you're livin' in
And when you close your eyes at night
You're wonderin', just where you've been

You were young when you heard the call
Saw it all in your crystal ball and chains
A problem child who can pick and choose
When the sandman calls your name, you cannot refuse

Ooh, ooh...now you're wide awake in dreamland - ooh
Ooh, ooh...now you're wide awake in dreamland
Chemical decisions never turn out like you planned
Now you're wide awake in dreamland
In dreamland
In dreamland
