i took a long hard look at the heroes of my youth and their antics on the page they re on can no longer sustain me ever since i was a boy they brought me joy the shackles of the way i was can no longer contain me it was exciting and enlightening reverberating through my dreams goodbye to reality and set a course for wayward schemes now i can t sing i can t feel i don t know what is real i was traveling through the past for years tell me what s my destination now the past is gone i don t even have a song we ve not sung before to a closing door tell me what s my situation i saw the film i lived the book i got the haircut that s all it took but now i know it s gonna take a little more now i m awake i took a long hard look now i m waiting for the phone to ring i glance at the inbox is there any tantalising mail there in there was lust in my restless heart but now i know what true love means goodbye to reality and set sail for dreams
