It's funny all things a man can do when he's asleep Like playing right field for the Red Sox on national TV Or the next night I could the CEO of IBM Or making out with Sandra Bullock in the movie we're both in Oh how perfect it would be If my life we're like my dreams (chorus) But then again there is the one where it's a normal day at work And I realize that I'm not wearing pants Or the one where I'm skydiving And my parachute won't open And I wake up screaming just before I land On second thought I think I'll stick with my reality Cause it's a scary place to be There's no logic there's no guarantee In My Dreams John Lennon takes me riding in his yellow submarine Last night he even told me what I am the walrus means The alarm clock started ringing I hit snooze and closed my eyes And won a million bucks in Vegas every time I rolled the dice Oh how perfect it would be If my life we're like my dreams (chorus) But then again there is the one Where I'm running through the forest From a psycho with a meat hook for a hand Or the one where Sandra Bullock leaves me standing at the alter Cause I got busted cutting off my mattress tag On second thought I think I'll stick with my reality Cause it's a scary place to be There's no logic there's no guarantee In My Dreams Oh how perfect it would be If my life we're like my dreams But then again there is the one where it's a normal day at work And I realize that I'm not wearing pants Or the one where I'm skydiving And my parachute won't open And I realize that I'm not wearing pants But then again there is the one Where I'm running through the forest And I realize that I'm not wearing pants Or the one where Sandra Bullock leaves me standing at the alter And I realize that I'm not wearing pants
