[Verse 1:] It´s four in the afternoon I´m on a flight leaving L.A. Trying to think about my life My youth scattered along the highway
Hotel rooms and headlines I´ve made a living with a song Just a guitar as my companion Wanting desperately to belong
Fame is filled with spoiled children They grow fat on fantasy I guess that´s why I´m leaving I crave reality
[Chorus 1:] So goodbye Alice in Wonderland Goodbye yellow brick road There is a difference between dreaming and pretending I did not find paradise It was only a reflection of my lonely mind searching For what was missing in my life
[Verse 2:] I´m embarassed to say the rest is a rock and roll cliche I hit the bottom when I reached the top I never knew it was you who was breaking my heart I thought you had to love me You did not
Yes a heart can hallucinate If it´s completely starved for love Can even make monsters seem like Angels from above
You forged my love like a weapon And turned it against me like a knife You broke my last heartstring But you opened up my eyes
[Chorus 2:] So goodbye Alice in Wonderland Goodbye yellow brick road There is a difference between dreaming and pretending That was not love in your eyes It was only a reflection of my lonely mind wanting what was missing in my life
[Bridge:] Dreaming is a good thing cause it brings new things to life Pretending is an ending that perpetuates a lie Forgetting what you are Seeing for what you´ve been told And growing up is not the absence of dreaming It´s being able to understand the difference between the ones you can hold And the ones that you´ve been sold
[Verse 3:] Well, truth is stranger than fiction And this is my chance to get it right Life is much better without all of your pretty lies
[Chorus 3:] So Goodbye Alice in Wonderland You can keep your yellow brick road Cause there is a difference between dreaming and pretending That was not love in your eyes It was only a reflection of my lonely mind wanting It was only a reflection of my lonely mind wishing That you were what was missing from my life
