Lyrics

Escape to Reality

Tired o' tellin' stories 'bout the man I'm gonna be,
tired o' seein' love as just my latest fantasy,
tired o' stayin' out all night and goin' home alone,
tired o' knowin' the time away from you has been too long.

CHORUS 1
I miss the sparkle I remember in your eyes,
the spirit of a wisdom that reveals truth in lies,
the spirit of a love that lets me see who I can be,
makes every dream a new escape to reality.
END CHORUS 1

TIred o' lettin' beauty queens seduce my heart so fast,
tired o' bein' alone in wantin' one night stands to last,
tired o' watchin' pure hearts turn into mata haris,
tired o' readin' dreams for sale signs on barroom darlings.

CHORUS 2
Lady, is that sparkle I see waking in your eyes
the spirit of adventure for another wild ride?
Or is it your soul, peekin', to see if I might be
ready to leave myself behind and escape to reality?.
END CHORUS 2

Tired o' strugglin' to believe everything's alright.
Tired o' wakin' up from dreams alone on moonlit nights.
Tired o' hustlin' on the streets and in the halls of justice.
Tired o' gettin' away with gettin' by. Lady, please, tell me I'm busted.

CHORUS 3
Lady, is that sparkle I see waking in your eyes
the spirit of adventure for another wild ride?
THe spirit of a love that lives to dance with destiny,
leave worn out ways behind and escape to reality?
END CHORUS 3
