Wonderworld (Single Edit) - Leo Sayer
Composed by:Sayer
Here on the hill where dreams become real
You look down on the lights they give you no thrill
In the spotlight beam
Lie a million schemes
Yeah it came from the streets took my ride to the coast
You're a loving love and you're bigger than most
Come a long way kid
Just like those pilgrims did
To the Wonderworld where you live like a king
But it don't mean a thing
Nothing life's nothing so you'll always say
The wonder it seems is just fading away
All she desires the lawyers and such
The letter she sent back now she don't stay in touch
But he gave you hope
Got a torn up heart
Now the rain falls like soup the palm trees aground
No smuggling money is leaving this town
And you stand alone
This time your cover's blown
In the Wonderworld take a ride down the shoot
You're the latest recruit
A black generation of taking away
The wonder it seems is just fading away
In the Wonderworld may your dreams become real
Make you as young as you feel
No one will help you if you make mistakes
They're on to you now and they're all on the
In a dream I had 'bout a brave new world
Of endless horizon and no waste of words
And no wonder I was sweating I was cold I was wet
I realized my life hasn't even started yet
No no
No no
No no no
No no
In the Wonderworld where the night becomes day
Can you stand up and say
This is all mine this is something I said
This is my problem it's all in my head
In the Wonderworld they'll collect what you got
All the prisoners get shot
And I don't think the success is so easy to climb
Your people keep falling time after time after time
Oh time after time after time after time
I'm leaving today
The wonder is fading away
Fading away fading away
Fading away fading away
I gotta keep on moving yeah
I gotta keep on moving yeah
