Pretty Maids Lyrics
"Wake Up To The Real World"

You take a trip down memory lane
Back in the childhood days
When everyday was an innocent game
And life a fairy tale
You're a twenty first century girl
And hope is all you've got

You place your bets on happy endings
You know you're dreaming, just pretending you're not

You hideaway in colour full dreams
From the dark of night
Sick of men, sick of extremes
And the world outside

You face the day with false illusions
Made up dreams and blind confusion

Step into it, open up your eyes
Wake up to the real world
Sleeping beauty, you still fantasize
Wake up to the real world

What's it like in the world where you are
In your secret place?
Do you feel love healin' your scars?
Do you feel embraced?

'Cause there your mind is free to wander
Where no one's gonna steal your thunder

Step into it, open up your eyes
Wake up to the real world
Sleeping beauty, you still fantasize
Wake up to the real world

Face the music, don't you realize
You're living in the real world
Sleeping beauty, out of your disguise
Wake up to the real world

You're living in a strange reality
You only see what you wish to see

Step into it, open up your eyes
Wake up to the real world
Sleeping beauty, you still fantasize
Wake up to the real world

Face the music, don't you realize
You're living in the real world
Sleeping beauty, out of your disguise
Wake up to the real world
Wake up to the real world
Wake up to the real world
