my imagination wants to see
the vivid colours of reality
there's a place out there beyond my grasp
a revolution in a looking glass
i've got to get this problem off my chest
i'm sick and tired of being second best
i'll rearrange my credibility
a fundraiser for a restless sea
don't ever doubt me, what's come over you
won't you forgive me, what are you gonna do
don't ever doubt me, what's come over you
won't you forgive, what are you gonna do
what will you do
i can't contain what's inside my head
i'm losing words that i must have read
do you remember the time we spent
it seems that we were the main event
have you a reason to behave like this
maybe you need a psychoanalyst
if you keep pushing me out of the door
for sure, you'll never see me again
no one to talk to, what am i gonna do
you're never there right when i need you
give me a cause, give me a reason
for your applause i'll commit treason
and in my mind i know i'm right
it's the same thing every night
you're not to blame, so don't you cry
you don't need me, so hurt my pride
all that time, i know we tried
line by line and side by side
and still i pray that we'll get by
but it don't seem real and i don't know why
and in my mind i know i'm right
it's the same thing every night
you're not to blame, so don't you cry
you don't need me, so hurt my pride
but in my mind i know i'm right
it's the same thing every night
why do you cry, you're not to blame
when will you change this sad refrain
sad refrain
oh when will you change
this sad refrain
when will you change this sad refrain
the vivid colours of reality
there's a place out there beyond my grasp
a revolution in a looking glass
i've got to get this problem off my chest
i'm sick and tired of being second best
i'll rearrange my credibility
a fundraiser for a restless sea
don't ever doubt me, what's come over you
won't you forgive me, what are you gonna do
don't ever doubt me, what's come over you
