The vinyl sparkles on the seat where you are scheming
the ticket window won't open until you start believing
in the wonders you once found in a fabric store uptown
while the horoscope proves wet paper on the ground
you belly-flop across life's little hurdles
night clubs and yo-yo diets turning
turning you in circles
well reality doesn't care if you do or don't dye your hair
whatever you choose
don't let your soul vanish in thin air
half asleep (half asleep)
you may take this song for granted
half alive
life is disenchanting sometimes
the escalator to fortune somehow eludes you
mixing m&m's and essential oils
doesn't always work for you
and what of deserted homes where the dear and dysfunctional roam
wrap it up with a letter and a bow
half asleep (half asleep)
you may take this song for granted
half alive
life is disenchanting sometimes
disenchanting sometimes
