Living in Oz - Rick Springfield

Ever since I was a kid

I remember having dreams of grandeur

I was gonna be someone, I know what I want

Everybody played second best

And I held you back just like all the rest

I think I got what I want

EverybodyЂ™s got to fight their demons

And you know I had to fight mine, too

It took a lot out of me, it took a lot out of you

To be living in oz, living in oz

Sometimes the dream can wake you

Living in oz, living in oz

Sometimes the dream can shock you, too

All the money that I spend on you

DoesnЂ™t mean a thing if the loveЂ™s not true

Baby please, IЂ™ll get what you want

CanЂ™t you tell me you and me ainЂ™t lost

I know what I did, I know what it cost

Now IЂ™m yours and IЂ™ve got what you want

All the fightinЂ™ will have been for nothinЂ™

If at the end I canЂ™t have you

IЂ™ll throw it all away if thatЂ™s what you want me to do

Living in oz, living in oz

Sometimes the dream can wake you

Living in oz, living in oz

Sometimes the dream can shake you, too

Funny how desire can burn you up inside

And make you commit emotional suicide

EverybodyЂ™s got the desire to leave their mark

Some just do it over a trail of broken hearts

And all the people that protect and serve

Would disappear if the well dried up

IЂ™m thirsty for affection

Let me drink from your loving cup

Living in oz, living in oz

Sometimes the dream can shock you

Living in oz, living in oz

Sometimes the dream can rock you

Living in oz, living in oz

Sometimes the dream can shake you

Living in oz, living in oz

Sometimes the dream can wake you, too
