City life just leaves me weak All this madness on the street Need to get away today Live my life a different way Is it only a fantasy To dream about a perfect me? [Chorus: x2] I want to live like beautiful people Give like beautiful people With like beautiful people around Buy the latest magazine And aspire to the dream Perfect home and perfect kids Not a life lived on the skids Is it only fantasy Or could it be reality? [Chorus: x2] Now I can see myself Without a care in the world It's a sun shining Money spending Green and healthy new world Is it only fantasy Or could it be reality? [Chorus: x2]
