When you feel you've gone to hell in a handbasket
And the world in which you dwells no paradise
I've some counsel I can give you need but ask it
I'm so very glad to share this good advice
You got to learn how not to be where you are
The more you face reality the more you scar
So close your eyes and you'll become a movie star
Why must you stay
Where you are
You got to learn how not to see what you've seen
The slice of hell you call your life is harsh and mean
So why not lie beside me on a movie screen
Why must you see
What you've seen
And if you find that you land in jail
A little fantasy will not fail
It's just as simple as a b c
Come up here play with me play with me
You've got to learn how not to do what you've done
The pistol shot can kill if you unload the gun
So build a palace where you're the shah
And we'll embrace in that shangri la
If you run away some matinee
From where you are
You got to learn how not to be how where you are
Where you are
The more you face reality
The more you scar the more you scar
So close your eyes and you'll become a movie star
Why must you stay must you stay
Where you are
So wanna glide beside me on a
Movie screen why must you see what you've seen
And if you find that you land in jail
A little fantasy will not fail
It's just as simple as a b c
Come up here
Play with me play with me
You got to learn how not to do what you've done
The pistol shot can kill if you unload the gun
So build a palace where you're the shah
And we'll embrace in that shangri la
If you run away some matinee from where you are
And if you find that you land in jail
A little fantasy will not fail
It's just as simple as a b c
Come up here come up here play with me play with me
Turn off the lights and turn on your mind
And I can promise you you will find
You will like my plan
My sweetest fan
My leading man
Anywhere you
I
