Lyrics:
Searching every day, looking every way
Trying to make a connection, to find a piece of the action
Like the hungry poet, who doesn’t know
He is close to perfection, choice is the question
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if they cared to look, than they would see
It’s our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Can you understand, that in every man
There’s a need to unwind, that’s never been defined
Somewhere deep within, there’s another being
You are somehow abusing, by the person you’re using
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if they cared to look, than they would see
It’s our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Travelling faster than lightning
Closer than ever before
We can go on for you, and take you nearer to
The legend of mystery from the beginning of time
Dreaming... TIME... Dreaming
We can return to the land of the good and the kind
TIME... Dreaming... TIME... Dreaming
Why don’t you come to our party and open your minds
In another place, there’s a newer face
Like an unfinished painting, your creator is waiting
The brush and pen describe, what it is inside
That will set your mind thinking, while the others are sinking
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side, they will see us ride
But if they cared to look, than they would see
It’s just our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, oh yeah
Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
