I'm watching the way that the water falls When you were shaking your hair Tapping your feet, you're my dancing queen But you were dancing on air If this is a dream, well don't wake me up Cause i wish i was there It's a good one, it's a good one, it's a good one If this is the way that it's got to be To me it never made sense I prefer a philosophy To a white picket fence But they say, the real world calls me now So i sit at this desk And wait for it, and wait for it, and wait for it Say hello to goodbye The time never feels right The hard days and long nights It's a strange kind of paradise I don't feel young but i don't feel old I'm always stuck in between Never do what i want i just do what i'm told I obey the machine But that ain't a life, i don't feel so alive If you know what i mean So i drink one, and i drink one, and i drink one Say hello to goodbye The time never feels right The hard days and long nights It's a strange kind of paradise When you want to run And you don't feel like waking up When the days turn to nights Raise a toast to the sky What's the point of a life If you don't feel alive? Don't wait for it Don't wait for it Say hello to goodbye The time never feels right The hard days and long nights It's a strange kind of paradise
