lyrics
Oh the glossy pages of magazines
Where life can really be all it seems
Gilded people with silver spoons
Socialites sleep all afternoon
You dream of gala affairs and award nights
Midnight dinner by candlelight
Laughter and joy, meant to be yours
Yet bouncers make you wait at the doors
Your sad heart haunts –
Your stoned soul wants –
Your greedy groin needs –
Your bleak blood bleeds –
Why should this fate befall a soul like thee
When everyone else is a VIP
It’s a mistake or a cruel joke
Are you meant to hang from a velvet rope
Your sad heart haunts –
Your stoned soul wants –
Your greedy groin needs –
Your bleak blood bleeds –
Fantasy, can’t you see it’s
All you need, lord help me,
Fantasy, it’s all you need
You’ve friended the friends of their friends
that’s your trick
All for to find your way into their clique
They’ll wine and dine you in their own homes
Paparazzi won’t leave you alone
Your sad heart haunts –
Your stoned soul wants –
Your greedy groin needs –
Your bleak blood bleeds –
You can’t appease –
Down on your knees –
Fantasy, can’t you see it’s
All you need, lord help me,
Fantasy, it’s all you need
