Spin into Reality

When the fascination fades
And the fantasy has played itself out,

Will you spin into reality?

When the wild adventure ends

And you're looking for an exit route,

Will you spin into reality?

"I know what I'm doing," 

You say,

"And I know where I'm going

Today."

But when the bright lights dim,

Will you cling to a wild whim,

A new thrill, a much higher high?

Bright star, will you fall from the sky?

When the fascination fades
And the fantasy has played itself out,

Will you spin into reality?

When the wild adventure ends

And you're looking for an exit route,

Will you spin into reality?

Ride the magic carpet

Tonight

Over those clouds of endless

Delight.

It's getting costlier,

But you've yet to realize

You have traded what you once were

For a new you you'll someday despise.

Why are you stubbornly

Chasing an illusive phantom-friend everywhere?

You're wandering aimlessly,

Drifting into a seemingly sweet deadly snare.

[instrumental interlude]

When the fascination fades
And the fantasy has played itself out,

Will you spin into reality?

When the wild adventure ends

And you're looking for an exit route,

Will you spin into reality?

Spin, spin, spin...back to life.
