I took up painting in the hope of getting rich
There's been a hitch
I found no value in the sum of all my art
But I won't lose heart

I thought by reading I would then improve my lot
But no. What rot!

I don't exist and nor do you
We're just a footnote
Now a quiz-show clue

Write down your postcode and we'll see if you could fit
No. That's not it
I kept on pleading with my eyes but not my mouth
My plans went south

I got boxed in and I was blocked from the home straight
I took the bait

I don't exist and nor do you
We're just a footnote
Now a quiz-show clue

Come with me
On a flight of fantasy
Where we can be
Who we want to be

Come with me
On a flight of fantasy
Where we can be
Who we want to be

I don't exist and nor do you
We're just a footnote
Now a quiz-show clue

I get consumed by ideas in full bloom
And so do you
And I got carried
I got carried away
I got carried away
Carried away
Carried away

I got carried
I got carried away
I got carried away
Carried away
Carried away
