Dreamtime Lyrics By Daryl Hall

    i saw you standing and i felt your rage
    like a dark cloud on a crowded stage
    you were talking through the smoke in your fantasy
    i know you girl i know what to believe

    maybe things ain’t been so good at home
    and the people that you love never cared at all
    you want to run away don’t care where you go
    you want to run away run away that’s all you know

    believe it’s alright to fantasize
    and say the words you think will satisfy me
    but you know better than that
    ’cause you know what’s a lie

    you’re living in dreamtime baby you want to run away
    it’s time to wake up ooh
    you’re living on dreamtime baby you want to run away
    it’s time to shape up

    in your dream it’s overcast
    rain comes down moving your way fast
    you want to run away don’t care where you go
    you want to run away run away that’s all you know

    you turn a corner and you see a door
    walk on through throw yourself on the floor
    oh when you’re looking up it’s no surprise
    standing there is a man with movie star eyes

    you think he’s gonna take care of you
    the man with the plan that’ll see you through
    and i say there ain’t no way
    ’cause i know he’s a lie

    you’re living in dreamtime baby you want to run away
    it’s time to wake up ooh
    you’re living on dreamtime baby you want to run away
    it’s time to shape up shape up
    you’re living on dreamtime you want to run away
    whoawhoa
    you’re living on dreamtime baby you want to run away
    want to run away want to run away

    i know
    i say

    you’re living in dreamtime baby you want to run away
    shape up
    you’re living on dreamtime baby you want to run away
    it’s time to wake up

    i never saw anybody fall apart so fast
    you’re living in dreamtime you know it ain’t gonna last
    never saw anybody think she’s so right and be so wrong
    living in dreamtime it’s hard to carry on girl
